Petrol prices in Pakistan have crossed the Rs. 380 per litre mark after the sixth consecutive daily increase, continuing a steep upward trend that has now pushed fuel costs up sharply since daily pricing began.
New Prices
As of September 14, 2026, petrol is priced at Rs. 380.24 per litre, up from Rs. 375.82 just three days earlier on September 11, an increase of Rs. 4.42 per litre. Diesel now costs Rs. 409.42 per litre, up Rs. 6.10 from its previous price of Rs. 403.32 per litre.
Monday’s adjustment marked the sixth straight day of price increases. Since the daily pricing mechanism was introduced, petrol prices have climbed by a cumulative Rs. 68.94 per litre, while diesel has risen by Rs. 79.91 per litre, a substantial jump that has significantly raised transportation and logistics costs across the country.
Who Decided the Increase
The federal government implemented the latest increase based on a decision by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). The article did not detail the specific market factors behind the increase, such as international crude oil price movements or exchange rate pressures, but confirmed that OGRA’s pricing recommendation was the basis for the change.
Impact on Consumers
With six consecutive daily increases, transporters, commuters and businesses reliant on diesel-powered logistics are likely to feel mounting pressure on their operating costs. The scale of the cumulative increase, nearly Rs. 69 per litre for petrol and almost Rs. 80 per litre for diesel since the daily pricing system began, represents one of the more significant fuel cost escalations in recent memory.
Motorists and businesses will be watching closely to see whether this upward trend continues in the coming days or whether prices begin to stabilize, particularly as the government has separately announced a fuel relief program aimed at cushioning the impact on eligible consumers.
