Govt cuts petrol price by Rs6.59, diesel by Rs4.25 per litre

Business Recorder reported that the government lowered the per-litre petrol rate by Rs6.59 to Rs346 and the HSD rate by Rs4.25 to Rs378, starting November 7, 2026. The revised charges replace prices of Rs352.59 for petrol and Rs382.25 for diesel, and OGRA said they will apply through November 10 because November 9 is a public holiday.

The latest cuts follow substantial reductions earlier in the week: petrol has fallen Rs28.51 and diesel Rs17.20 since November 2. International crude benchmarks also faced steep weekly losses, with Brent on course for a 16% drop and WTI for a 13% decline, although both recorded modest gains during Friday trading.
