Petrol Climbs Rs1.09 And High Speed Diesel Rs2.42 Per Litre As Cumulative Rise From Pre-War Levels Reaches Rs70 For Petrol And Rs112 For Diesel Since February 28
According to Dawn, the Pakistani government revised petroleum prices upward on July 30 for implementation on July 31, 2026, raising petrol by Rs1.09 per litre to Rs336.15 and high-speed diesel by Rs2.42 per litre to Rs393.04, under the daily OGRA pricing mechanism introduced by Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik.
The government continues to levy Rs110 per litre in taxes on petrol and Rs96 per litre on diesel; figures that have remained unchanged despite the volatility in global oil prices caused by the US-Iran war.
The revision places petrol Rs70 above its pre-war level of Rs266 per litre in early March. Diesel has risen Rs112 from its pre-war Rs281 per litre. Both remain far below their April 3 war-peak prices; petrol’s record was Rs458.41 and diesel’s was Rs520.35, signalling that the war-driven spike has partially reversed. Meanwhile, the All Pakistan Dealers Association has rejected daily pricing, saying it would consider protest action.
Pakistan is paying less than its April peak. It is paying far more than it did six months ago. And those taxes haven’t moved. Check out our previous coverage of Pakistan’s fuel prices on The Trusted Times.
