Govt keeps petrol, diesel prices unchanged

The government has decided to keep petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices unchanged for Tuesday, August 11. According to a notification from the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division, the ex-depot prices for August 8 and 10, 2026 will remain the same for August 11 due to the non-publication of Platts prices on August 10, 2026.

The price of petrol remains at Rs327.62 per litre, while HSD stays at Rs380.86 per litre. This decision aligns with the government's practice of adjusting fuel prices based on international oil markets and other cost factors. The last price review on Friday saw a reduction of Rs2.20 for petrol and Rs1.50 for HSD, with the revised rates applying from Saturday, August 8, to Monday, August 10, 2026.
