On September 22, 2026, Pakistan's government announced revisions to fuel prices, affecting both petrol and High Speed Diesel (HSD). The ex-depot price of petrol rose by Rs4.61, increasing from Rs389.14 to Rs393.75 per litre. Conversely, HSD prices decreased by Rs1.96, falling from Rs422.08 to Rs420.12 per litre. These changes were primarily influenced by fluctuations in international refined oil prices, which were affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) utilized a seven-working-day rolling average of the daily Platts Arab Gulf Means Price to determine the revised rates. Throughout September 2026, Pakistan imported over 80% of its total refined petroleum product consumption. The government maintains stable levies and profit margins for both fuel types, with the import costs adjusted accordingly.
The import cost of petrol rose to Rs283.19 per litre, while HSD's import cost decreased to Rs315.17 per litre. All government levies, including the Petroleum Levy, Climate Support Levy, and dealer/oil marketing company profit margins, remained unchanged. Customs duties and inland freight equalisation margins also remained fixed, further solidifying the impact of these fuel price adjustments on Pakistani consumers.
