Petrol price jumps Rs2.31, HSD rises Rs0.78 from Oct 9

Mettis Global reported that the Petroleum Division under the Ministry of Energy has increased ex-depot prices for high-speed diesel and petrol, effective October 9, 2026. High-speed diesel rises by Rs0.78 per litre, while motor spirit goes up by Rs2.31 per litre. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority carried out the revision under the pricing mechanism set by the federal government.

Diesel now costs Rs395.72 against Rs394.94 previously, and petrol has moved from Rs396.65 to Rs398.96 for the October 9 schedule. The authority attributed the change to international developments, including shifts in Platts rates, premiums and incidental charges. The revised rates apply from October 9, 2026, and replace the figures in force on October 8.
