  "summary": "The government has raised the price of petrol by Rs4.42 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs6.10 per litre, effective from Tuesday, September 15, 2026. This marks the sixth consecutive hike in petroleum prices, with the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) revising the ex-depot prices of petroleum products under the government’s pricing mechanism. The increase is attributed to a rise in oil prices globally, with both major benchmarks trading above $100 a barrel, and ongoing supply concerns due to attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure in the Middle East.",
