Current Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The following table shows the verified petrol and high-speed diesel prices effective on 28 October 2026.
| Petroleum product | Price per litre | Effective date |

These figures are verified for 28 October 2026. They should not automatically be treated as current on a later date without checking for a newer official update.
What Changed in Petrol and Diesel Prices?
The latest revision brought different changes for petrol and diesel. Petrol became cheaper, but high-speed diesel became more expensive.
| Petroleum product | Previous price on 27 October | Price effective 28 October | Change per litre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs. 379.25 | Rs. 376.06 | Rs. 3.19 decrease |
| High-speed diesel | Rs. 395.82 | Rs. 398.07 | Rs. 2.25 increase |
The previous rates are supported by the dated reporting and price information reviewed for 27 October 2026. The new rates and changes were also reported by Business Recorder.
For motorists, the petrol reduction means a lower fuel cost per litre compared with the previous rate. Diesel users, however, face a higher per-litre price.
Why Did Petrol and Diesel Prices Change?
Pakistan’s petroleum prices reflect several pricing components. International benchmark prices, import-related costs, exchange rates and other charges can affect the final price.
Recent reporting about Pakistan’s fuel pricing mechanism has described a move towards daily reviews using a rolling seven-day average of international prices. However, the full government-hosted policy instrument was not independently verified in the research reviewed for this article. Details about the mechanism should therefore be read with that qualification.
International oil prices and benchmark rates
International petroleum market prices are among the factors considered in the local price build-up. Changes in international benchmarks and related costs can influence the amount used to calculate domestic fuel prices.
However, a change in international crude oil prices does not necessarily translate into an identical change at Pakistani fuel stations. Other pricing components also contribute to the final rate.
Exchange rates and import costs
The exchange rate and costs associated with importing petroleum products can affect their domestic pricing. OGRA’s published price build-up includes several components used in calculating the notified rates.
The available research does not establish a complete independent calculation of how much each factor contributed to the 28 October price revision. It would therefore be misleading to attribute the entire change to a single cause.
How to Check the Latest Official Petrol Price
If you find different petrol prices on news websites, automotive portals or social media, check the effective date before relying on the figures.
Follow these steps:
- Open the OGRA official price publication portal.
- Find the most recent relevant petroleum price document.
- Check the date from which the prices apply.
- Compare the petrol and high-speed diesel rates with the figures published by news outlets.
- Use the latest applicable official document rather than an older page that may still appear in search results.
A page titled “Petrol Price Today” is not necessarily updated every day. During the research for this article, some competitor pages continued to display the rates effective on 27 October even though the newer rates applied from 28 October.
Do Petrol Prices Change Daily in Pakistan?
Recent reporting indicates that Pakistan has moved towards a daily petroleum price review mechanism. Dated price publications and news reports reviewed for this article also reflect updates during the period.
The reported mechanism includes consideration of international prices over a rolling seven-day period. Because the full government-hosted framework was not independently retrieved during research, readers should consult official notifications for the precise rules and any subsequent changes.
A daily review mechanism does not mean that petrol prices must increase or decrease every day. The direction and size of a revision depend on the applicable pricing inputs and the decision reflected in the relevant official publication.
Petrol Prices, Taxes and Government Levies
The retail price of petroleum products includes several components beyond the underlying product cost. OGRA’s price build-up provides a breakdown of applicable components, including levies, distribution-related margins and other costs.
Different reports may present tax and levy figures using different groupings. The research reviewed for this article found figures that could not be fully reconciled into one consistent total across sources.
For that reason, this article does not present a single combined tax figure as a confirmed total. Readers looking for the individual components should refer to the official OGRA price document and review the figures for the relevant effective date.
Prices of Other Petroleum Products
Some fuel-price websites also publish rates for kerosene oil, light diesel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The current rates for these products were not conclusively verified against the relevant dated official publications in the research reviewed for this article. They are therefore not included here as confirmed prices.
For an accurate comparison, check the applicable OGRA publication or official notification for each product. Avoid assuming that a figure shown on an older fuel-price page remains valid today.
