Fuel prices in Pakistan have moved up again, bringing fresh pressure for motorists and households already coping with high transport costs. From today, Thursday 29 October 2026, petrol will cost Rs377.91 per litre, while high-speed diesel (HSD) will be sold at Rs399.82 per litre.
The latest revision raises petrol by Rs1.85 per litre, from Rs376.06, and diesel by Rs1.75 per litre, from Rs398.07. The change takes effect under the daily pricing mechanism and was notified on Wednesday 28 October by the Petroleum Division / OGRA.
The increase partly reverses the previous day's movement. For 28 October, petrol had been cut by Rs3.19 per litre, while diesel had risen by Rs2.25 per litre. That brief relief for petrol users has therefore been short-lived.
The main reason given for the new hike is the sharp rise in international oil prices. Global crude climbed about 2% on Wednesday amid renewed fighting in Yemen and an attack on a refinery in Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about possible supply disruptions. Brent crude rose about 1.6% to $115.69 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose about 2.5% to $102.42 a barrel. Because Pakistan imports most of its fuel, changes in the world market pass through to local pump prices quickly.
For consumers, the impact will be felt directly at the pump and indirectly in everyday spending. Higher petrol raises the cost of running cars and motorcycles and of commuting, while diesel at just below Rs400 a litre also pushes up freight costs, which can feed into the prices of goods. Small-vehicle users may find some context in the relief scheme announced on 13 September, which offered Rs100 per litre off petrol for motorcycles, three-wheelers and cars up to 800cc, covering about 11.8 million beneficiaries.
