Good news for motorists, and a mixed picture for transporters: the federal government has revised fuel prices for today, Wednesday, 28 October 2026. Petrol has become cheaper by Rs3.19 per litre, while high-speed diesel (HSD) has become dearer by Rs2.25 per litre. The new rates are effective from today.
New Fuel Prices in Pakistan (28 October 2026)
Petrol: Rs376.06 per litre (down Rs3.19 from Rs379.25)
High-speed diesel: Rs398.07 per litre (up Rs2.25 from Rs395.82)
Why Did Petrol Get Cheaper?
According to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), the cut in petrol came mainly from a Rs5.71 per litre reduction in customs duty on imported petrol, which fell from Rs26.27 to Rs20.56 per litre. That reduction more than offset a rise in petrol's import cost at Karachi port. The revised price still includes a petroleum levy of Rs80 per litre and a climate support levy of Rs5 per litre, while sales tax remains zero-rated.
Diesel, on the other hand, has now risen for a fourth consecutive revision and is moving closer to the Rs400 per litre mark. The Petroleum Division has linked the latest changes to global developments, including movements in international benchmark rates and import premiums.
A Quick Look Back
Just a day earlier, on 27 October, both fuels had been raised — petrol by Rs1.54 and diesel by Rs2.16 per litre. Today's revision reverses the petrol increase, but diesel users face another hike. Pakistan shifted to a daily fuel-pricing mechanism in July 2026, so pump prices can now move every day in line with international oil markets.
What It Means for You
For a 50-litre petrol tank, today's cut saves about Rs159.50 compared with yesterday's price. For diesel users — including truckers, bus operators and farmers running agricultural machinery — a 50-litre fill now costs about Rs112.50 more. Higher diesel costs can feed into freight charges and the prices of everyday goods, so the relief at the petrol pump comes with a cost elsewhere in the economy.
The new prices will remain in force until the next daily revision. We will keep you updated on the next fuel price announcement here on News Trend Today.
