Current Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The Shehbaz Sharif-led government last adjusted fuel rates on August 16, citing rising import costs and currency pressures. At that time, the price of super petrol jumped to Rs264.61 per litre, while high-speed diesel reached Rs272.99 per litre. The upward revision highlighted Pakistan’s continued vulnerability to global oil shifts and domestic financial instability.
Upcoming OGRA Review
OGRA will submit its next price review summary to the government on August 31. Officials confirm that any change in global crude values will directly shape Pakistan’s local fuel rates. With prices already burdening households and businesses, consumers brace for another possible increase.
