Diesel Price in Pakistan Today
The latest High-Speed Diesel price is Rs. 424.04 per litre.
Diesel was previously priced at Rs. 424.92 per litre. The latest revision reduced the rate by Rs. 0.88 per litre. HSD is widely used by commercial transport, buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and other diesel-powered vehicles, making changes in its price important for transportation and operating costs.
Why Are Petrol Prices Changing?
Petroleum prices in Pakistan are linked to international oil and refined-product prices, exchange-rate movements and other components used in the official price calculation.

OGRA's latest September 19 price publication shows that the revised rates were calculated using international Platts Arab Gulf prices and related pricing components. Business Recorder reported that the seven-working-day rolling average of the daily Platts Arab Gulf Means Price was used in the latest adjustment.
Changes in global petroleum markets can therefore affect local fuel prices. The exchange rate also plays a role because Pakistan imports a significant portion of its petroleum requirements.
Recent Petrol Price History
Petrol prices have moved considerably during September 2026.
On September 11, petrol was priced at Rs. 370.80 per litre. The rate increased to Rs. 375.82 on September 12 and later climbed to Rs. 380.24 on September 15. It reached Rs. 384.34 on September 16 and Rs. 391.22 on September 17.
The rate then moved lower for two consecutive revisions. Petrol fell to Rs. 390.79 on September 18 and further declined to Rs. 389.14 on September 19.
This recent movement shows how quickly petroleum prices can change under the current pricing mechanism.
How Much Does Petrol Cost for a Full Tank?
At the current Pakistan petrol price today of Rs. 389.14 per litre, the approximate fuel cost is:
- 10 litres: Rs. 3,891.40
- 20 litres: Rs. 7,782.80
- 30 litres: Rs. 11,674.20
- 40 litres: Rs. 15,565.60
- 50 litres: Rs. 19,457.00
- 60 litres: Rs. 23,348.40
The actual amount paid depends on the quantity purchased and the applicable retail price at the station.
Impact on Transport and Daily Expenses
Changes in petrol and diesel prices can affect household and business expenses across Pakistan.
For private motorists, a higher petrol price directly increases the cost of daily commuting and long-distance travel. For businesses that depend on transportation, fuel costs can also form an important part of operating expenses.
Diesel prices are particularly relevant for freight operators, public transport and agricultural users because heavy vehicles and machinery commonly rely on High-Speed Diesel.
Fuel prices can therefore have wider effects on transportation costs and, indirectly, the prices of goods moved between cities and markets.
Official Petrol Price Information
OGRA publishes petroleum price notifications and related pricing information through its official website. Its price publications currently include a notification for petroleum products effective September 19, 2026.
PSO has also published its fuel rates effective September 19, listing Premier Euro 5 petrol at Rs. 389.14 per litre and Hi-Cetane Diesel Euro 5 at Rs. 424.04 per litre.
These figures correspond with the latest notified national rates.
