Petrol price cut by Rs2.93, diesel rises by Rs0.61

Mettis Global reported that the Petroleum Division of the Ministry of Energy has changed ex-depot rates for petroleum products, with effect from October 13, 2026. Petrol now sells at Rs395.37 per litre, a reduction of Rs2.93 from the previous Rs398.30. High-Speed Diesel, meanwhile, became dearer by Rs0.61 per litre and is now priced at Rs396.85, up from Rs396.24.

Under a pricing framework set by the Federal Government, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority carried out the revision for October 13, 2026. The price movements were attributed to global developments, including changes in Platts rates, premiums and incidentals. The notice compares prices dated October 10, 2026 with the new prices dated October 13, 2026.

The notice names no listed company, so the change applies across the fuel sector rather than to one firm. Oil marketing companies are the sector most directly linked to the revised petroleum rates in this notice. Both moves apply from October 13, 2026, and the new figures replace the prices dated October 10.
