Petrol Prices in Pakistan – 08 October, 2026

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has revised the ex-depot prices of petroleum products under the government’s petroleum

ISLAMABAD : The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has revised the ex-depot prices of petroleum products under the government’s petroleum pricing mechanism for October 8, 2026.

According to the revised pricing notification, the price of petrol has been increased by Rs1.82 per litre. Following the increase, the new price of petrol has been fixed at Rs396.65 per litre.

The revision has been made as part of the government’s regular petroleum pricing mechanism, under which the prices of petroleum products are reviewed and adjusted according to relevant market conditions and other factors.

The latest increase means that consumers will have to pay a higher price for petrol compared with the previous rate. The revised price will apply from October 8, 2026, following the decision by the relevant authorities.

OGRA reviews petroleum prices in accordance with the government’s pricing framework. The authority considers factors relevant to the determination of petroleum product prices before issuing or recommending revised rates.

Petrol prices are closely linked with transportation and logistics costs across the country. Any increase in the price of petrol can have a direct or indirect impact on the cost of transportation, goods and services.

The latest revision is therefore expected to attract attention from consumers, transporters and businesses, particularly those that rely heavily on petrol for transportation and daily operations.

The government periodically revises petroleum prices to reflect changes under its pricing mechanism. These adjustments can result in either an increase or decrease in the prices of petroleum products, depending on the prevailing circumstances and applicable calculations.

The revised petrol price of Rs396.65 per litre will remain the applicable rate under the latest notification until the next scheduled review or further revision by the authorities.

The petroleum pricing mechanism is also significant for the wider economy because fuel prices influence transportation expenses and the movement of goods between different parts of the country. Changes in fuel prices can consequently affect operating costs for businesses as well as household expenses.

The latest decision by OGRA comes amid continued public attention toward petroleum prices, as motorists closely monitor changes in fuel rates due to their impact on daily commuting and transportation costs.

With petrol now priced at Rs396.65 per litre, consumers will face an additional Rs1.82 per litre compared with the previous rate. The revision will be reflected in petrol prices following the implementation of the latest ex-depot rates.

Authorities are expected to continue monitoring petroleum prices under the government’s pricing mechanism, with further changes to be made in accordance with the applicable formula and market conditions.

The latest notification confirms that the petrol price has been revised upward, while the new rate has been set at Rs396.65 per litre with effect from October 8, 2026.
