What Is the Petrol Price in Pakistan Today?
The petrol price in Pakistan is Rs 379.25 per litre under the notification effective from 27 October 2026. The previous notified rate was Rs 377.71 per litre, making the increase Rs 1.54 per litre.
This is the confirmed notified rate for the date covered by the notification. Before relying on an older screenshot, social media post or price article, check whether it refers to the same effective date.
How much petrol can you buy for your budget?
Using the notified rate of Rs 379.25 per litre, the following calculations show how much common fuel purchases would cost.
| Petrol quantity | Calculated cost |
|---|---|

What Is the High-Speed Diesel Price in Pakistan?
The high-speed diesel price in Pakistan is Rs 395.82 per litre, effective from 27 October 2026. The previous notified rate was Rs 393.66 per litre. This represents an increase of Rs 2.16 per litre.
Diesel is widely used in goods transport, buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and other commercial activities. A change in diesel prices can affect operating budgets for businesses that depend on diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.
However, a fuel-price increase does not automatically establish how much transport fares, delivery charges or food prices will change. Those costs depend on several factors, and a specific increase should not be assumed without supporting information.
Petrol versus diesel prices
| Comparison | Petrol | High-speed diesel |
|---|---|---|
| Current notified price | Rs 379.25/L | Rs 395.82/L |
| Previous price | Rs 377.71/L | Rs 393.66/L |
| Latest increase | Rs 1.54/L | Rs 2.16/L |
Diesel is Rs 16.57 per litre more expensive than petrol at these notified rates. This comparison concerns the prices only; it does not indicate that one fuel is more economical for every vehicle or use.
How Have Petrol and Diesel Prices Changed in Recent Revisions?
Comparing recent notified prices helps explain how the latest rates differ from those in the preceding period. The following figures are based on the official price records and the historical rates checked during research.
| Effective date | Petrol (Rs/L) | Diesel (Rs/L) |
|---|---|---|
| 21 October 2026 | 382.02 | 389.80 |
| 22 October 2026 | 379.31 | 390.11 |
| 23 October 2026 | 377.71 | 391.75 |
| 24 October 2026 | 377.71 | 393.66 |
| 27 October 2026 | 379.25 | 395.82 |
This table includes selected effective dates rather than every calendar day. The figures show petrol falling across several earlier revisions before rising on 27 October. Diesel moved upward across the dates shown.
These movements describe the recent record, not a forecast. Previous reductions or increases do not establish what the next notification will contain.
Why Did Petrol and Diesel Prices Change?
OGRA’s 27 October notification provides details about the inputs used to calculate the revised fuel prices. These include international oil-market benchmarks and related costs involved in bringing petroleum products into Pakistan.
International oil-market prices
The official petrol price table lists a Platts Arab Gulf average of USD 118.41 per barrel. This figure is part of the international pricing inputs used in the notification. It should not be confused with the retail price of petrol in Pakistan, which is expressed in rupees per litre and includes other components.
Freight, premiums and exchange-rate inputs
The notification also uses freight and premium components and a seven-working-day rolling-average method for relevant inputs. These details help explain why the domestic price calculation is not simply a direct conversion of one day’s international crude-oil price into Pakistani rupees.
International market conditions are relevant to the calculation, but readers should be careful about claims that attribute the entire increase to one specific event. The figures above establish the notified prices and listed inputs; a more specific explanation should be supported by the relevant official statement.
To check the underlying publication, visit OGRA’s official price-publications page and locate the notification applicable to the date in question.
Petrol and Diesel Taxes and Levies in Pakistan
The notified price includes several components. These include the import or ex-refinery price, freight-related adjustments, marketing margins, dealer margins and government charges. The official notification lists the following amounts for petrol and high-speed diesel. The table below includes the additive components that reconcile exactly with OGRA’s notified totals.
| Price component | Petrol (Rs/L) | HSD (Rs/L) |
|---|---|---|
| Import/ex-refinery price | 268.49 | 288.27 |
| Inland Freight Equalisation Margin (IFEM) | 7.91 | 4.70 |
| Oil marketing company margin | 7.87 | 7.87 |
| Dealer margin | 9.98 | 9.98 |
| Petroleum levy | 80.00 | 80.00 |
| Climate support levy | 5.00 | 5.00 |
| Sales tax | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Total notified price | 379.25 | 395.82 |
| Petroleum levy plus climate support levy | 85.00 | 85.00 |
How should the listed government charges be understood?
The two separately listed levies total Rs 85 per litre for both petrol and HSD. OGRA’s notification lists sales tax as zero for both fuels. These figures describe the specific charges shown in the table; they are not a claim that every possible government receipt or duty is limited to Rs 85 per litre.
The OGRA notification also displays customs-duty figures in its price-build-up information. However, adding those figures again on top of the listed import/ex-refinery price causes the arithmetic to exceed the notified retail totals. Customs duty is therefore not added as a separate row in this table, because doing so would double-count it in this presentation of the price build-up.
Some news reports have quoted Rs 114 per litre as the total government taxes and duties on petrol. That figure does not match the additive components in the table above. The Rs 85 figure shown here covers only the petroleum levy and climate support levy, while sales tax is listed as zero. It should not be presented as a comprehensive total of all government duties.
It is also important to distinguish the import or ex-refinery price from the final notified retail price. The ex-refinery figure is one part of the calculation and should not be presented as the amount consumers pay at the pump.
What Are the Latest Kerosene and Light Diesel Oil Prices?
Kerosene oil, also called superior kerosene oil (SKO), and light diesel oil are separate petroleum products. The latest directly confirmed Pakistan State Oil listing found during this research is dated 24 October 2026.
| Fuel | Last confirmed listed price | Effective date | Verification status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kerosene oil | Rs 330.96 per litre | 24 October 2026 | A new 27 October rate was not independently confirmed |
| Light diesel oil | Rs 275.24 per litre | 24 October 2026 | A new 27 October rate was not independently confirmed |
These figures should not be described as newly revised prices for 27 October. The inspected OGRA notification for that date confirms petrol and HSD, while the PSO listing provides the last confirmed rates located for kerosene and LDO.
For these fuels, check the latest official publication before making a decision based on a rate displayed on a third-party website.
How to Verify the Latest Petrol Price Yourself
Readers can check the official price record without relying on screenshots or forwarded messages. Follow these steps whenever a new revision is reported.
- Open the official OGRA price-publications page.
- Find the latest applicable petroleum-price notification.
- Check the effective date and time printed in the document.
- Read the petrol and HSD prices from the official tables.
- Compare the new figures with the preceding notification to calculate the increase or decrease.
- For kerosene and LDO, confirm whether a separate current rate has been published. If the latest available record is older, state its effective date clearly.
- Cross-check major announcements with established reporting, such as Dawn or Business Recorder, while using the official notification to resolve conflicting figures.
Do not pay anyone for access to a public government fuel-price notification. Use official sources for verification, and be cautious of undated graphics or claims that promise a price change before an announcement is confirmed.
What Do These Fuel Prices Mean for Pakistani Readers?
For households, the new petrol rate provides a straightforward way to estimate the cost of a planned fuel purchase. Multiplying Rs 379.25 by the number of litres gives a basic estimate before considering any applicable difference at the pump.
For businesses that use diesel-powered vehicles and equipment, the Rs 395.82 per-litre HSD rate is relevant to fuel budgeting. However, the effect on delivery costs, fares or other prices will depend on operating expenses and commercial decisions. A particular increase in those costs should not be assumed from the fuel notification alone.
Readers should also pay attention to the effective date. A search result or article showing an earlier rate may have been accurate when published but may no longer represent the latest applicable notification. Checking the date and the original source helps avoid using outdated figures.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Checking Petrol Prices
- Confusing the notification’s publication date with its effective date.
- Using the previous petrol or diesel rate as the current price.
- Presenting the last listed kerosene or LDO price as a new 27 October revision without confirmation.
- Copying a tax total from a secondary website without checking the official component breakdown.
- Assuming that a movement in international oil prices proves the exact reason for a domestic revision.
- Predicting the next revision date when no official date has been confirmed.
- Paying someone to access public information or relying on an undated social media screenshot.
