The government has increased Pakistan’s petrol price by Rs3.05 per litre and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) price by Rs5.37 per litre under the latest daily fuel price revision. The new petroleum prices are effective from September 11, 2026.
According to the latest notification, the ex-depot price of petrol has been raised from Rs367.75 to Rs370.80 per litre. Meanwhile, the price of High-Speed Diesel has increased from Rs392.67 to Rs398.04 per litre.
The latest fuel price increase comes as global refined petroleum product prices continue to rise amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the region. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) calculates daily fuel prices based on a seven-working-day rolling average of Platts Arab Gulf Mean prices.
The government has also sought additional time from Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) to consider measures aimed at reducing the impact of higher fuel prices on consumers. JI Naib Emir Liaqat Baloch said the government requested a three-day delay while officials review the petroleum levy and related fuel pricing measures.
According to the Petroleum Division notification, key levies and profit margins on petrol and HSD remain unchanged. Both products carry a Petroleum Levy of Rs80 per litre and a Climate Support Levy of Rs5 per litre. Dealer and oil marketing company margins stand at Rs9.98 and Rs7.87 per litre, respectively.
Customs duties remain at Rs21.15 per litre for petrol and Rs15.68 per litre for HSD, while the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin (IFEM) has been set at Rs7.60 per litre for petrol and Rs4.02 per litre for HSD.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s crude and petroleum product imports declined by 11% year-on-year to 1.24 million tonnes in July 2026. The decline was mainly driven by a 35% year-on-year drop in motor spirit (MS) imports, while HSD and JP-1 imports remained nil amid higher refinery utilisation.
