On October 7, 2026, the government increased the price of petrol by Rs1.19 per litre, bringing it to Rs394.83. Simultaneously, they reduced the high-speed diesel (HSD) price by Rs1.91, lowering it to Rs395.85 per litre. These changes were announced by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) following their revision of ex-depot prices for petroleum products under the government’s pricing mechanism.
The new prices were influenced by fluctuations in international market rates, including Brent futures and US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices, which fell by 1.8% and 1.6% respectively. The revised prices are set to be implemented starting October 7, 2026, reflecting the adjustment in global market conditions.
