The government has increased the ex-depot price of petrol by Rs4.61 per litre, taking it from Rs389.14 to Rs393.75, while the price of High Speed Diesel (HSD) has been reduced by Rs1.96 to Rs422.08 per litre.
The revised prices were issued by the Petroleum Division on September 22, 2026, under the daily fuel price adjustment mechanism.
The latest changes reflect movements in international refined petroleum prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) determines domestic fuel prices using a seven-working-day rolling average of the Platts Arab Gulf Means.
During the review period, the average international price of petrol increased to $133.27 per barrel, compared with $132.57 previously. Meanwhile, the average HSD price declined to $123.12 per barrel from $124.24.
Pakistan imports more than 80% of its petroleum consumption in the form of refined products, making domestic fuel prices highly sensitive to international oil market movements.
The import cost of petrol increased to Rs283.19 per litre from Rs278.58, while the import cost of HSD declined to Rs315.17 from Rs317.13 per litre.
Government levies and fixed margins remained unchanged. Both petrol and HSD carry a Petroleum Levy of Rs80 per litre and a Climate Support Levy of Rs5 per litre. Dealer margins stand at Rs9.98 per litre, while oil marketing companies receive Rs7.87 per litre.
Customs duty remains at Rs23.68 per litre for petrol and Rs15.68 for HSD. The Inland Freight Equalisation Margin (IFEM) was set at Rs7.71 per litre for petrol and Rs4.06 for HSD.
