Petrol Price Reduced by Rs 3.93 in Pakistan — New Rate Rs 386.30 Per Litre

Pakistan Petrol Price Update | October 17, 2026

The federal government has reduced the price of petrol in Pakistan by Rs 3.93 per litre, bringing the new notified rate to Rs 386.30 per litre. The price of high-speed diesel (HSD) remains unchanged at Rs 396.96 per litre.

According to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), the Petroleum Division issued a press release confirming that the revised petroleum prices would take effect from October 17 to October 19, 2026. The announcement follows the latest revision under the government's petroleum-pricing mechanism.

New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan

The latest notified prices are as follows:

Petroleum Product	Previous Price	New Price	Change
Petrol (Motor Spirit)	Rs 390.23	Rs 386.30	Decrease of Rs 3.93
High-Speed Diesel (HSD)	Rs 396.96	Rs 396.96	No change

All prices are in Pakistani rupees per litre.

The petrol reduction offers some relief to motorists, commuters and households managing their daily transport expenses. However, the impact on individual budgets will depend on fuel consumption and other transport costs.

Why Has the Petrol Price Decreased?

The Petroleum Division attributed the latest price revision to developments in the international petroleum market, including changes in Platts prices, premiums and other incidental costs.

International oil prices, petroleum-product premiums, exchange-rate movements and applicable domestic charges can affect the prices notified in Pakistan.

The latest reduction should therefore be understood as a specific adjustment under the prevailing pricing mechanism, rather than a guarantee of further price decreases.

How Much Can You Save After the Petrol Price Cut?

The Rs 3.93-per-litre reduction produces the following savings at the pump, compared with the previous notified petrol price:

Petrol Purchased	Saving
5 litres	Rs 19.65
10 litres	Rs 39.30
20 litres	Rs 78.60
30 litres	Rs 117.90
40 litres	Rs 157.20
50 litres	Rs 196.50

For example, a motorist purchasing 20 litres of petrol will pay Rs 78.60 less than before, assuming the same quantity and the notified rates shown above.

Is the New Petrol Price Officially Verified?

Yes. The reduction and the new petrol rate are reported by the Associated Press of Pakistan, which attributes the revision to the Petroleum Division's announcement.
