OGRA Prices in Pakistan: Latest Petrol, Diesel, LPG & Fuel Price Updates
If you're looking for today's OGRA-notified fuel prices, here they are at a glance: petrol is at Rs343.87 per litre, high-speed diesel is at Rs370.92 per litre, and LPG is at roughly Rs258.64 per kg for September 2026. These rates are effective from September 2, 2026, and were last verified on September 2, 2026, using official OGRA and government notifications. Since July 2026, Pakistan has moved to a daily petroleum pricing model, so petrol and diesel rates can change every 24 hours — while LPG continues to be revised on a monthly basis. The table below has the full breakdown so you don't have to dig through paragraphs to find the numbers.
Petrol (MS): Rs343.87/litre — Previous: Rs342.79 — +Rs1.08
High-Speed Diesel (HSD): Rs370.92/litre — Previous: Rs370.41 — +Rs0.51
Kerosene Oil: Rs272.00/litre* — Previous: Rs313.44 — −Rs41.44
Light Diesel Oil (LDO): Rs244.93/litre* — Previous: Rs275.54 — −Rs30.61
LPG: ~Rs258.64/kg — Previous: ~Rs254.31 — +Rs4.33/kg
Effective Date: September 2, 2026
Petrol prices have seen a mild increase of about one rupee over the past week.
Diesel prices have fluctuated slightly, with day-to-day changes.
LPG prices have risen by Rs4.33 per kg compared to last month, bringing the cost of an 11.8 kg domestic cylinder to Rs3,052.

Petrol technically called Motor Spirit (MS) is the fuel most Pakistanis interact with every single day, whether they're filling up a bike, a car, or a rickshaw. As of today, petrol is priced at Rs343.87 per litre, up from Rs342.79 a day earlier. That's a small but real increase of Rs1.08, or roughly 0.3%, and it took effect from September 2, 2026 under an official notification.

A handful of factors move the petrol price, sometimes all at once:
International oil prices: Pakistan imports the bulk of its crude and refined products, so any shift in global benchmarks like Brent crude feeds directly into the local price.
Exchange rate: since oil is purchased in US dollars, a weaker rupee makes imports more expensive even if the dollar price of oil hasn't moved.
Government taxes and levies: the petroleum levy and general sales tax make up a large chunk of the pump price, and any policy change here shows up immediately.
Petroleum margins: the fixed margins earned by oil marketing companies and dealers are built into the formula and get periodically revised.
Daily pricing adjustments: since mid-2026, prices are recalculated every 24 hours rather than every two weeks, so smaller, more frequent moves are now normal instead of the old pattern of one or two big jumps a month.
High-speed diesel currently sits at Rs370.92 per litre, a rise of 51 paisa from the previous day's Rs370.41. That might sound like a small move, but diesel has an outsized effect on the broader economy because of how widely it's used:

Transport trucks, buses, and freight vehicles that move goods and people across the country run almost entirely on diesel.
Agriculture tractors, tube wells, and threshers depend on it, which means diesel prices ripple directly into food costs.
Generators with electricity load-shedding still common in many areas, diesel generators are a backup power source for homes and businesses.
Commercial vehicles from delivery vans to construction equipment, diesel keeps commercial operations running.
Heavy machinery construction and industrial equipment rely on HSD almost exclusively.
Diesel pricing follows largely the same logic as petrol global crude rates, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, levies, and margins all play a part. But because diesel underpins transport and agriculture, even modest changes tend to draw more public attention, since they can nudge up the price of everything from bus fares to vegetables.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a major monthly story in its own right, especially for households in areas without piped natural gas.
LPG per kg: ~Rs258.64
11.8 kg cylinder: Rs3,052

For September 2026, OGRA raised the LPG rate by Rs4.33 per kilogram compared to August, bringing the per-kg price to roughly Rs258.64. This is the figure that determines the cost of every cylinder size sold across the country, from small camping canisters to large commercial cylinders.
The most common domestic cylinder size in Pakistan is 11.8 kg, and its price is simply the per-kg rate multiplied by 11.8:
LPG per kg × 11.8 = cylinder price
Rs258.64 × 11.8 ≈ Rs3,052
That's up Rs51.17 from August's price of Rs3,000 for the same size cylinder. If you use a different cylinder size, just swap in its weight — for example, a 15 kg cylinder would work out to roughly Rs258.64 × 15 ≈ Rs3,880.
LPG pricing in Pakistan is influenced by a slightly different mix of factors than petrol and diesel:
International LPG prices, largely benchmarked against the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP), which is the reference rate most LPG-exporting and importing countries use.
Exchange-rate movements, since a large share of Pakistan's LPG is imported and paid for in dollars.
Local production levels from domestic refineries and gas fields, which can offset or add to import dependence.
Import volumes, which fluctuate based on domestic demand, especially in winter when LPG use rises in areas without natural gas connections.
Regulatory adjustments, including any changes OGRA makes to producer and marketing margins.
Kerosene, used mainly for domestic lighting and heating in rural and off-grid areas, was last notified at Rs272 per litre after a Rs41.44 cut from its previous rate of Rs313.44. It isn't revised on the same daily schedule as petrol and diesel, so this figure reflects the most recent confirmed notification.

Light Diesel Oil (LDO), used in industrial furnaces and some marine and agricultural equipment, was last set at Rs244.93 per litre, down Rs30.61 from Rs275.54. Like kerosene, it follows its own revision cycle rather than the daily petrol/diesel model.
OGRA also oversees pricing frameworks that indirectly touch products like Hi-Octane blends sold by private companies, though — importantly — OGRA does not directly fix Hi-Octane prices; those are set by oil marketing companies within regulatory guidelines.
Latest OGRA Update
Petrol: ↑ Rs1.08 → Rs343.87/litre
Diesel: ↑ Rs0.51 → Rs370.92/litre
LPG: ↑ Rs4.33/kg (September 2026 monthly rate) → ~Rs258.64/kg
Effective: September 2, 2026
This marks a second straight day of increases for petrol, following a smaller 77-paisa rise the day before. Diesel has been more volatile, dipping by over a rupee one day and rising again the next — a pattern that's become typical since Pakistan shifted to daily petroleum pricing in July 2026 in response to global oil market volatility. On the LPG side, the September rate hike continues a trend of monthly cylinder costs creeping upward, which matters most for households and small businesses that rely on LPG as their primary cooking fuel.
Fuel prices in Pakistan haven't moved in a straight line. Understanding the recent trajectory helps put today's rate in context.

Rather than cramming years of data onto this page, these dedicated archives give visitors and search engines a cleaner, more useful resource to dig into month-by-month or year-by-year trends.
In short:
International petroleum prices change.
Currency exchange rates move.
Government taxes and levies are revised.
Petroleum margins are adjusted.
Import costs shift.
The government formally announces and notifies the revised rates.
For the fuller breakdown of how each of these pieces is calculated, see the pricing mechanism section above.
This trips up a lot of people: the price you see in an OGRA notification is a national base rate, not necessarily the exact price at every single pump. There's an important distinction between:
The national notified/regulatory price — the ex-depot rate set through OGRA's pricing formula, which applies uniformly as the baseline across the country.
The actual retail/station price — what you pay at a specific pump, which can include small variations tied to transportation costs.
City-level differences mainly come down to the Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM) — essentially the cost of moving fuel from refineries and ports (concentrated around Karachi) to filling stations across the rest of the country. In practice, this is designed to keep prices largely uniform nationwide, but transportation logistics and, occasionally, individual station or company pricing practices can introduce minor differences.

Want to work out what a trip or a month of driving will actually cost you? Here's the simple formula:
Petrol Cost Formula: Distance ÷ vehicle mileage × petrol price = trip cost
Example: 500 km ÷ 15 km/L × Rs343.87 ≈ Rs11,462
You can apply the same formula for:
A single trip's petrol or diesel cost
Monthly fuel spend (just use your average monthly distance)
A petrol-vs-diesel comparison (swap in each fuel's price and your vehicle's respective mileage)
Just plug in your vehicle's mileage and the distance you're covering, and the price per litre from the table above.

It mainly comes down to international crude oil prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, government taxes and levies, and OMC/dealer margins.
Are OGRA prices the same throughout Pakistan?
The notified base price is uniform nationally, though minor differences can appear at the retail level due to transport costs and local distribution factors, particularly for LPG.
Where can I find the official OGRA notification?
Notifications are published on OGRA's official website under its petroleum pricing section and are typically reported the same day by major national news outlets.
