Diesel price rises by Rs2.25, petrol gets Rs3.19 relief

Mettis Global reported that Pakistan’s petroleum prices changed from October 28, 2026, with diesel becoming Rs2.25 per litre more expensive and petrol falling by Rs3.19 per litre. The revised rates were set by the Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division under the federal pricing mechanism, following a review by OGRA.

Diesel now costs Rs398.07 per litre, compared with Rs395.82 previously. Petrol is priced at Rs376.06 per litre, down from Rs379.25. The report attributes the adjustments to movements in international Platts rates, premiums and related costs, without detailing the contribution of each factor. The contrasting changes matter to fuel users and businesses that rely on diesel or petrol, as the official pump-price benchmarks have moved in opposite directions.
