The federal government has hiked petroleum prices for the second consecutive day, pushing the cost of petrol and high-speed diesel to historic new highs across Pakistan.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) announced fresh upward revisions through an official notification from the Petroleum Division. These updated rates took effect immediately on September 10, 2026.
Motorists face continuous financial pressure following back-to-back price increases. The latest price structure at retail fuel pumps nationwide includes:
| Fuel Type | New Price (PKR / Liter) | Price Change |
| Petrol (Premier Euro 5) | 367.75 | +Rs. 3.40 |
| High-Speed Diesel (HSD) | 392.67 | +Rs. 6.72 |
| Kerosene Oil (SKO) | 307.00 | Unchanged |
| Light Diesel Oil (LDO) | 267.06 | Unchanged |
Market Pressures and Global Factors
The fresh adjustments follow an earlier hike implemented just a day prior.
Energy analysts report that international oil benchmarks have surged past critical thresholds due to escalating conflicts in the Middle East. Global crude prices climbed past $100 a barrel after regional supply disruptions.
Because Pakistan imports the majority of its petroleum requirements global market volatility translates directly into domestic price hikes.
