Pakistan has increased fuel prices once more under its daily petroleum pricing system. The short relief from yesterday is gone.
From July 29, 2026, petrol costs Rs335.81 per litre. That is up Rs1.63. High-speed diesel now stands at Rs388.38 per litre after a Rs1.55 rise. These rates stay in place for the next 24 hours. Then the government will set new ones.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority recommends the changes. The Ministry of Energy issues them. Prices track global crude oil and exchange rates. Even when some international prices ease, local rates can still climb because of other costs.
Current Fuel Rates
| Fuel Type | Old Price (Rs) | New Price (Rs) | Change (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | 334.18 | 335.81 | +1.63 |
| High Speed Diesel | 386.83 | 388.38 | +1.55 |
Yesterday petrol had dropped by Re1 to Rs334.18 while diesel rose. That small cut lasted only one day.
Recent Daily Price Moves
Fuel prices have moved up most days in late July. Here is the recent pattern for petrol and diesel:
| Date | Petrol (Rs/litre) | Diesel (Rs/litre) |
|---|---|---|
| July 24 | 331.52 | 378.66 |
| July 25–26 | 335.18 | 383.46 |
| July 28 | 334.18 | 386.83 |
| July 29 | 335.81 | 388.38 |
Petrol rose overall from the mid-320s earlier in the week. Diesel climbed steadily higher. From July 20 levels near Rs316 for petrol and Rs354 for diesel, both fuels have moved up by more than Rs19 and Rs29 in a short time.
These daily shifts hit people hard. Drivers pay more to fill tanks. Transporters pass higher costs to passengers and goods. Food and daily items often become costlier soon after. Many call the late-night announcements a “midnight bomb” for household budgets.
The government switched to daily revisions to match market conditions faster. In the past, prices changed every fortnight. Now the system reacts quicker to world oil prices and the rupee’s value. But the result for ordinary people is constant uncertainty. One day a small cut appears. The next day prices rise again.
For now, the new rates are fixed until the next revision. Keep an eye on official notices from the Petroleum Division. Filling up today costs more than it did yesterday. And the pattern of recent days shows prices have been heading upward more often than down.
This steady climb adds pressure on already tight family budgets across the country. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
