  "summary": "Pakistan's listed refinery sector returned to a profit of Rs. 54.8 billion in FY2026 after incurring a loss of Rs. 10.5 billion the previous year. The improvement was driven by stronger petrol and diesel refining margins, higher production, and increased sales. Sector revenue rose 26.9 percent to Rs. 1.54 trillion from Rs. 1.22 trillion in FY2025, while gross profit increased to Rs. 107.4 billion from Rs. 10.4 billion. The gross margin improved to 7 percent from 0.9 percent, and the net profit margin stood at 3.6 percent. Ex-refinery prices of petrol and diesel rose by 17 percent and 19 percent, respectively, while total petroleum product production increased by 13.4 percent to 11.2 million tons.",
