Everything you need to know about current fuel rates, pricing formula, and market outlook
The petrol price in Pakistan today is Rs. 321.17 per litre as per the latest OGRA notification effective from March 7, 2026. High-speed diesel (HSD) is priced at Rs. 335.86 per litre. These prices apply uniformly across all major oil marketing companies including PSO, Shell, Total PARCO, Attock, Hascol, GO, and Byco.
The March 7 revision was the most significant single-day fuel price adjustment in Pakistan's history — both petrol and diesel were increased by Rs. 55 per litre. The government attributed this to the Middle East geopolitical crisis and the disruption of shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz, causing Brent crude to surge 50-70% in under two months.
Petroleum pricing in Pakistan follows a structured formula managed by OGRA under federal government oversight. The pump price is the sum of six components, each contributing a specific percentage to the final rate consumers pay at retail stations.
OGRA uses the Arab Gulf import parity benchmark for the ex-refinery price, converting it at the prevailing USD/PKR exchange rate. Government taxes alone (PDL + GST) make up roughly 28% of the total — meaning even when crude prices fall, the full benefit doesn't always reach consumers.
The #1 factor. Each $1/barrel change = Rs. 1.5-2.0/L at the pump. March 2026 saw crude surge from $75 to $130.
Pakistan pays for oil in dollars. Each Rs. 1 depreciation = Rs. 0.60-0.80/L increase — even if crude stays flat.
PDL (Rs. 70) + GST (Rs. 18) = 28% of pump price. Often increased under IMF programs, absorbing any crude relief.
Production cuts or increases by OPEC+ directly move global supply. Quarterly meetings are key dates to watch.
Strait of Hormuz handles 20% of world oil. Conflicts in Middle East, Russia cause sudden supply shocks.
The base OGRA price is uniform nationwide. City differences come from the Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM) — the cost of transporting fuel from Karachi's refineries and port to retail outlets across the country.
Karachi has the lowest prices being closest to refineries and the port. Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi sit at Rs. 329.88. Quetta reaches Rs. 336.88. Gilgit-Baltistan pays the most at Rs. 345.88 — reflecting extreme distances and mountainous terrain that make fuel logistics significantly more expensive.
Diesel powers the backbone of Pakistan — trucks carrying 90%+ of freight, intercity buses, tractors, and tube wells. Petrol drives 25+ million motorcycles and millions of cars. Every price increase ripples through the entire economy.
Economists project the Rs. 55 hike could add 1.5-2.5 percentage points to headline inflation. Public transport fares, school van charges, and ride-hail prices all adjust upward within days — with the burden falling hardest on lower-income households.
Largest OMC in Pakistan with 3,800+ retail outlets. Serves retail, industrial, aviation, marine & government sectors nationwide.
~800 stations. Focus on premium fuels, lubricants, and Shell V-Power. Known for station quality and convenience stores.
~800 outlets. Joint venture between TotalEnergies and the Pakistani government. Strong presence in Punjab and Sindh.
~600 outlets, primarily in northern Pakistan. Part of the Attock Group with integrated refining operations.
Combined 1,500+ outlets across Pakistan. All follow the same OGRA-notified base rate for regulated fuel types.
Note: All OMCs charge the same OGRA-notified price for Petrol, HSD, LSD, and Kerosene. Hi-Octane Euro 5 pricing is set independently by each company.
Pakistan adopted the RON 92 petrol standard in 2016, replacing the older RON 87 grade. Euro V emission standards were implemented in 2020, skipping Euro III and IV. Hi-Octane Euro 5 (RON 95-97) is premium fuel for turbocharged engines — its pricing is NOT controlled by OGRA and varies between Rs. 328-346 per litre by company and location. CNG was once hugely popular (Pakistan was the world's largest CNG market) but infrastructure has declined. LPG serves dual purpose as vehicle fuel and cooking gas in areas without piped natural gas.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority was established under the OGRA Ordinance 2002 to regulate Pakistan's petroleum sector. Its responsibilities include recommending prices to the government, licensing OMCs and LPG distributors, ensuring quality at retail outlets, and protecting consumers.
OGRA calculates the recommended price using the Arab Gulf import parity formula — reflecting real import costs at prevailing exchange rates. The final decision rests with the federal government, which can accept, modify, or reject OGRA's recommendation based on fiscal and political considerations.
