Govt raises petrol price by Rs1.54, diesel by Rs2.16 per litre

Mettis Global reported that the government increased the ex-depot price of high-speed diesel by Rs2.16 per litre to Rs395.82, while motor spirit rose by Rs1.54 to Rs379.25. The revised rates took effect on 27 October 2026, following the previous price changes on 24 October.

The Petroleum Division said OGRA made the revisions under the federal government’s petroleum pricing mechanism. It attributed the adjustments to international factors, including changes in Platts rates, premiums and incidental costs. Diesel’s earlier rate was Rs393.66 per litre, while motor spirit had been Rs377.71; the source reports increases of 0.55 and 0.41% respectively.

The new notification concerns retail fuel costs and the oil and gas marketing sector, but the source names no listed company. It provides no further breakdown of how the changes affect individual businesses or consumers.
