Petrol Price in Pakistan Today

Here's the complete current fuel price table, effective September 2, 2026:

High Speed Diesel Price in Pakistan

The diesel price in Pakistan for High Speed Diesel now sits at Rs 370.92 per litre, up Rs 0.51 from the previous rate — a smaller move than petrol saw in this same revision, but still relevant for the commercial transport and logistics sector that runs predominantly on HSD.

Light Speed Diesel Price in Pakistan

Light Speed Diesel remained unchanged at Rs 199.98 per litre in this revision, one of the few categories left untouched this time.

LPG Price in Pakistan

LPG rose from Rs 254.32 to Rs 258.65, an increase of Rs 4.33 — a meaningful jump for households and vehicles that rely on LPG regularly.

Kerosene Oil Price in Pakistan

Kerosene oil eased noticeably, dropping from Rs 301.64 to Rs 289.95 — a decrease of Rs 11.69, the largest single move across all fuel categories in this revision.

CNG Price in Pakistan

CNG Region-I and Region-II rates were not shown as part of this specific revision. CNG pricing and availability continue to vary regionally, so it's worth checking with local compressed natural gas stations for current rates in your area.

High Octane Petrol Price in Pakistan

Unlike standard petrol and diesel, High Octane (RON 97) fuel isn't sold under a single fixed nationwide price — pricing is typically set independently by retailers and can vary by location and brand. If you use High Octane regularly, check directly at your usual filling station rather than assuming a single published rate applies everywhere.

How Petrol Prices Are Set in Pakistan

Domestic fuel prices are built from several layered components: international crude oil prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, the petroleum levy, customs duty, dealer margin, OMC (Oil Marketing Company) margin, any applicable climate support levy, and transportation/distribution costs on top of the base product price.

It's worth noting that the older pattern of fixed 15th and last-day-of-month revisions no longer reflects current practice — under the present pricing mechanism, petroleum prices are being adjusted considerably more frequently than that fortnightly schedule.

Why Petrol Prices Increase or Decrease in Pakistan

Several factors drive each revision: international crude oil price movements set the baseline cost, the rupee-dollar exchange rate affects how much that cost translates into local currency, and petroleum levy and tax policy decisions directly shape the final retail price. Refining costs, transportation and distribution expenses, global geopolitical events affecting oil markets, and government pricing policy all layer on top of these core drivers.

How Petrol Prices Affect the Economy

Fuel price movements ripple well beyond individual drivers — transportation costs affect the price of goods across the supply chain, inflation pressure often tracks fuel cost trends, and the country's overall import bill is directly tied to global crude oil pricing given Pakistan's reliance on imported petroleum products.

How Petrol Prices Affect Car Owners

For everyday drivers, price changes affect the daily commute budget, monthly fuel spending, the calculus around long-distance travel, and running costs for ride-hailing and commercial vehicle operators. Over time, sustained higher prices also influence maintenance decisions and interest in more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Rising fuel prices are also encouraging drivers to focus on fuel-efficient driving habits and reducing unnecessary running costs. Proper maintenance and useful car accessories can make everyday driving more practical regardless of where fuel prices head next — see our broader Pakistan fuel prices coverage for the wider trend behind today's numbers.

Petrol Price Trend in Pakistan

Based on the confirmed data points available, petrol has moved from roughly Rs 62/litre in January 2006 to Rs 343.87/litre in September 2026 — a multi-fold increase over two decades, shaped by currency depreciation, tax policy changes, and global oil price cycles as much as by any single factor. 2026 itself has seen notable volatility, including a peak of Rs 458.41/litre in April before subsequent revisions brought the rate back down. A complete year-by-year trend line would need the full historical dataset to calculate precisely, but the overall direction over 20 years is unmistakably upward.
