Pakistan’s government has set fresh fuel rates under the daily petroleum pricing system. Petrol now costs Rs 335.06 per litre. That is 75 paisa less than the day before. High-speed diesel jumped Rs 2.24 and stands at Rs 390.62 per litre. The new prices took effect on July 30, 2026, and stay in place for the next 24 hours.
This daily system began in mid-July. It ties local rates to global oil market moves more closely than the old fortnightly reviews. Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) calculates the prices using a seven-day average of international benchmarks. The goal is a faster response to world price swings, especially after recent Middle East tensions affected supply routes.
Current Fuel Rates in Pakistan
| Product | New Price (Rs/litre) | Change (Rs/litre) |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Premier Euro 5) | 335.06 | -0.75 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 390.62 | +2.24 |
These are the official ex-depot rates. Final pump prices can add small freight charges depending on the city.
Recent Daily Price Changes
Diesel has climbed steadily over the past few days while petrol moved both ways.
| Date | Petrol (Rs/litre) | Diesel (Rs/litre) | Diesel Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 25 | 335.18 | 383.46 | +4.80 |
| July 26-27 | 335.18 | 383.46 | Unchanged |
| July 28 | 334.18 | 386.83 | +3.37 |
| July 29 | 335.81 | 388.38 | +1.55 |
| July 30 | 335.06 | 390.62 | +2.24 |
Diesel rose more than Rs 7 in just five days. Petrol stayed near the same level with small ups and downs.
What This Means for Everyday Costs
Car and bike owners get a tiny break on petrol. But the diesel hike hits harder. Trucks, buses, and delivery vans run on diesel. Higher diesel costs often push up the price of food, goods, and public transport within days.
Many families already stretch tight budgets. A few rupees extra on each litre adds up fast when you fill a full tank or ride long distances. The daily price system means these numbers can shift again tomorrow. Drivers and business owners now check rates almost every morning.
Global crude prices and shipping costs still decide most of the movement. Local taxes and margins stay in the formula, but the daily review passes international changes faster to the pump.
For the next 24 hours, petrol sits at Rs 335.06 and diesel at Rs 390.62. Keep an eye on the next update. Small daily moves like these have become the new normal in Pakistan’s fuel market. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
