Kerosene Oil Price in Pakistan From 10 October 2026: Up to Rs 330.14
Kerosene oil is Rs 330.14 a litre in Pakistan from 10 October 2026, up 60 paisa, on OGRA's weekly notice. See the price parts, five week trend and winter costs.
Kerosene oil costs Rs 330.14 a litre in Pakistan from Saturday, 10 October 2026, up 60 paisa from Rs 329.54. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) set the new price in a notification dated 9 October. It holds for one week.
That is the kerosene price today in Pakistan. We read OGRA's scanned notification on the evening of 10 October. OGRA now revises kerosene every Saturday, so this rate should run until the next notice, normally due on 17 October.
Kerosene is Rs 330.14 a litre this week
OGRA's notification fixes the maximum ex-depot sale price of kerosene oil at Rs 330.14 a litre, in force from 10 October 2026. Ex-depot means the price at an oil company's depot, before any extra transport to a shop or pump.
| Item | 3 October | 10 October | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum ex-depot price | Rs 329.54 | Rs 330.14 | Up Rs 0.60 |
| Prescribed price | Rs 322.48 | Rs 323.18 | Up Rs 0.70 |
| Petroleum levy, inside the prescribed price | Rs 20.36 | Rs 20.36 | No change |
| Inland freight margin | Rs 7.06 | Rs 6.96 | Down Rs 0.10 |
| Distributors' margin | Rs 1.58 | Rs 1.58 | No change |
The notification replaces S.R.O. No. 1778(I)/2026 of 2 October. It lists no dealers' commission and no general sales tax on kerosene, the same as last week.
This week's rise is the smallest in five weeks
Kerosene has swung hard since mid-September. It jumped Rs 22.97 in one week, then fell Rs 25.46 the next. This week's 60 paisa rise is the calmest move in that run.
| Week starting | Kerosene, Rs a litre | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 12 September | Rs 324.35 | Not compared |
| 19 September | Rs 347.32 | Up Rs 22.97 |
| 26 September | Rs 321.86 | Down Rs 25.46 |
| 3 October | Rs 329.54 | Up Rs 7.68 |
| 10 October | Rs 330.14 | Up Rs 0.60 |
Kerosene is still Rs 17.18 a litre below the 19 September high of Rs 347.32. It is Rs 5.79 above where it stood on 12 September.
The import cost rose 70 paisa and freight fell 10 paisa
The whole change came from the prescribed price, which includes the import parity cost, the levy and the distributor margin. It rose 70 paisa. A 10 paisa cut in the freight margin brought the net rise to 60 paisa.
The petroleum levy on kerosene stayed at Rs 20.36 a litre. The federal government sets that rate, and OGRA's notice says it follows the Petroleum Division's order dated 21 August 2026. So the levy does not move week to week. What moves is the world price of the fuel and the rupee.
Kerosene carries far less tax than petrol. Petrol carries an Rs 80 petroleum levy and a Rs 5 climate support levy on today's petrol sheet. That is one reason kerosene is Rs 68.16 a litre cheaper than petrol's Rs 398.30.
Shops beyond the 23 depots may charge more
The Rs 330.14 cap applies at 23 oil company depots and covers primary freight only. Beyond those depots, and in special areas of Balochistan, Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas, companies may add secondary freight to the retail outlet.
That is OGRA's own note 2 on the notification. It means a family buying kerosene in a remote valley will usually pay more than Rs 330.14, because the fuel travels further. The notification does not set a separate price for those places. These are often the same homes that rely on kerosene most once the cold arrives, because they have no piped gas.
What a winter supply costs at this week's price
At the ex-depot cap, a 20 litre can of kerosene costs Rs 6,602.80, Rs 12 more than last week. A 200 litre drum costs Rs 66,028, Rs 120 more.
- 1 litre: Rs 330.14, up 60 paisa.
- 5 litres: Rs 1,650.70, up Rs 3.
- 20 litres: Rs 6,602.80, up Rs 12.
- 200 litres: Rs 66,028, up Rs 120.
These are our own sums at the maximum ex-depot price, before any secondary freight or shop margin. With swings of more than Rs 20 a litre possible from one Saturday to the next, a big purchase is worth timing against the weekly notice. How to read the notice yourself, and the full background, is in the kerosene oil price in Pakistan. Families weighing kerosene against cylinder gas can compare the October LPG price.
