MG Morning Breeze: Updates to Skim before Market

Mettis Global reported that petrol will cost Rs2.71 less per litre from October 14, 2026, after the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division revised ex-depot prices. The same revision lowered High-Speed Diesel (HSD) by a smaller Rs0.03 per litre.

The petrol reduction was one item in the publisher's morning roundup, which also covered trading on the PSX and the rupee against the dollar. On the exchange, the benchmark KSE-100 closed at 164,776.44 on Tuesday, shedding 347.97 points or 0.21 per cent as domestic political unrest kept buyers cautious.

Two listed companies also featured in the digest. Kohinoor Mills (KML) commissioned a further 3MW solar system, lifting its total solar capacity to 10.2MW, according to a notice to the PSX. Meanwhile, Crescent Star Technologies, a group company of Crescent Star Insurance (CSIL), has begun operations in information technology, software and InsurTech.
