On August 26, the federal government announced a hike in the price of petrol and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) by Rs1.12 and Rs1.11 per litre respectively. The new prices took effect on Thursday, August 27, according to the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) revised the ex-depot prices of petroleum products under the government's pricing mechanism.
Petrol's price rose from Rs341.98 to Rs343.10 per litre, while HSD's price increased from Rs370.69 to Rs371.80 per litre. This adjustment will remain in place until Thursday, aligning with the government's ongoing practice of modifying fuel prices based on international oil markets and other cost factors. The previous review on Monday saw a price increase of Rs0.39 and Rs2.40 per litre for petrol and diesel, respectively.
