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

Pakistan raised the per-litre price of high-speed diesel by Rs2.16 and petrol by Rs1.54 on Monday, Business Recorder reported. The new rates, announced through the Petroleum Division after OGRA’s review, take effect on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Diesel now costs Rs395.82, up from Rs393.66, while petrol rises to Rs379.25 from Rs377.71.

OGRA attributed the adjustment to international factors, including changes in Platts rates, premiums and incidentals. The move follows Friday’s Rs1.91-per-litre diesel increase, when petrol was left unchanged. Separately, global crude prices declined on Monday: Brent was down 1.7% to $114.70 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate fell 2.5% to $100.71, although both remained near six-month highs amid concerns over attacks on Saudi Arabia.
