ISLAMABAD: The federal government has reduced petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices in Pakistan, providing a slight reduction in fuel costs for motorists. Petrol prices have been cut by Rs1.49 per litre, while diesel prices have decreased by Rs2.73 per litre.
According to the latest notification issued by the Petroleum Division, the revised prices took effect on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Following the latest revision, petrol is now priced at Rs387.54 per litre, while high-speed diesel costs Rs402.24 per litre.
The revised prices are as follows:
Petrol: Rs387.54 per litre
High-speed diesel: Rs402.24 per litre
Petrol price reduction: Rs1.49 per litre
Diesel price reduction: Rs2.73 per litre
The latest adjustment follows fluctuations in international oil prices.
How Will the Price Reduction Affect Consumers?
The reduction in petrol prices may provide some relief to motorcycle owners, private vehicle users and commuters.
Meanwhile, lower diesel prices could help reduce transportation expenses. Diesel is widely used by buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and other commercial vehicles.
However, the relatively small reduction may have a limited impact on the overall cost of living.
Government's Daily Fuel Pricing Mechanism
Pakistan has introduced a daily fuel pricing mechanism under which petroleum prices are reviewed according to international oil market trends.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) uses international market prices and other relevant costs to determine domestic fuel rates.
Under this system, changes in global oil prices can be reflected more quickly in local petroleum prices.
International Oil Prices and Pakistan
International oil prices remain an important factor in determining Pakistan's petroleum rates. Global supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions can affect oil prices and domestic fuel costs.
The government continues to monitor international market developments while adjusting petroleum prices.
Conclusion
The latest reduction has brought petrol prices down to Rs387.54 per litre and high-speed diesel prices to Rs402.24 per litre, effective September 30, 2026.
Although the reduction offers some relief to motorists and businesses, consumers will continue to monitor future fuel price adjustments.
