Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The revised rates announced for Thursday, October 15, 2026, are as follows:
- Petrol: Rs. 390.23 per litre, down Rs. 2.90.
- High-speed diesel: Rs. 396.96 per litre, up Rs. 0.31.
These changes reflect the latest adjustments under the daily fuel pricing mechanism.
Fuel Prices Have Increased Significantly Since July
Despite the latest reduction in petrol prices, fuel costs have risen considerably since daily price revisions began in July.
According to the available pricing data, petrol has increased by Rs. 79.81 per litre overall, while diesel has recorded a rise of Rs. 72.78 per litre over the same period.
Fuel prices are closely watched by households, transport operators and businesses because changes in petroleum costs can affect commuting expenses, freight charges and the cost of moving goods across the country.
Petrol is widely used by private vehicles and motorcycles, while diesel plays an important role in public transport, freight operations and several commercial activities.
The latest reduction in petrol prices offers limited relief to consumers, although the increase in diesel prices means that operating costs for diesel-dependent transport services remain under pressure.
Motorists and businesses will continue to monitor future government announcements for further changes to petroleum prices in Pakistan.
