Govt raises diesel price by Rs1.91 per litre, keeps petrol unchanged

Business Recorder reported that the government lifted the high-speed diesel (HSD) price by Rs1.91 per litre for October 24 to 26, 2026, while leaving petrol at Rs377.71 per litre. HSD now costs Rs393.66 per litre, compared with Rs391.75 previously. The Petroleum Division said OGRA adjusted ex-depot rates under the federal pricing mechanism.

OGRA attributed the revision to international market factors, including Platts rates, premiums and incidentals. The report also noted that oil prices climbed on Friday after Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised concern about possible supply interruptions. Brent reached $114.57 a barrel, up 1.2%, while US West Texas Intermediate advanced 1.5% to $100.95; the government’s latest price change applies for three days.
