That is the petrol price today in Pakistan. We opened the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) price sheet effective 15 October on 15 October 2026. OGRA is the regulator that works out fuel prices under the daily pricing system. Its sheet says both prices apply from "00:00 hours" on 15 October.
Petrol is Rs 393.86 and diesel Rs 396.65 today
From 15 October 2026, petrol is Rs 393.86 a litre and high speed diesel is Rs 396.65. Petrol rose Rs 1.20 from Rs 392.66. Diesel fell Rs 0.17 from Rs 396.82. This ends a run of three petrol cuts, of Rs 0.66 on 10 October, Rs 2.93 on 13 October and Rs 2.71 on 14 October.
| Fuel | 14 October | 15 October | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs 392.66 | Rs 393.86 | Up Rs 1.20 |
| High speed diesel | Rs 396.82 | Rs 396.65 | Down Rs 0.17 |
Petrol is still Rs 5.10 below its Rs 398.96 high of 9 October. It is Rs 6.46 above the Rs 387.40 of 1 October. Yesterday's sheet is in our report on the 14 October petrol price.
A dearer freight premium lifts petrol even as the Gulf price falls
Petrol rose because shipping and premium costs went up, not because the Gulf price rose. OGRA's sheet shows the Gulf petrol price in its average fell to $129.31 a barrel from $130.63. The premium including freight rose to $17.94 from $16.12.
Those two moves almost cancel. The cost and freight price per barrel is $147.25 against $146.75 a day earlier. In rupees, petrol landed at Karachi costs Rs 256.83 a litre, up Rs 1.35. The rupee average is Rs 277.14 to the dollar, against Rs 277.16.
Two smaller lines also moved. Customs duty rose to Rs 25.64 a litre from Rs 24.93. The exchange rate adjustment fell to Rs 0.62 from Rs 1.47. Together they leave a net rise of about Rs 1.20 once rounding is counted.
Levies and customs add Rs 110.64 to each litre of petrol
Of the Rs 393.86 petrol price, Rs 110.64 is tax and duty. That is the petroleum levy of Rs 80, the climate support levy of Rs 5 and customs duty of Rs 25.64. OGRA's sheet says petrol is currently exempt from sales tax, so that line is zero.
| Part of the petrol price | Rs a litre |
|---|---|
| Landed cost at Karachi | 256.83 |
| Exchange rate adjustment | 0.62 |
| Customs duty | 25.64 |
| Freight equalisation, company and dealer margins | 25.78 |
| Petroleum levy | 80.00 |
| Climate support levy | 5.00 |
| Total | 393.86 |
Lines are rounded, so they can differ from the total by a paisa. The three margins are Rs 7.93, Rs 7.87 and Rs 9.98, and they add to Rs 25.78. The levy and customs share is 28 per cent of the price. For the full list of how the daily price is built, see the petrol price formula.
Diesel eases Rs 0.17 and the gap to petrol narrows to Rs 2.79
High speed diesel is Rs 396.65, a cut of Rs 0.17. Dubai crude in the average fell to $108.34 a barrel from $108.43. The diesel crack, which is the gap between diesel and crude, stayed at $41.89, and freight stayed at $8.00.
Diesel landed at Karachi is Rs 273.41 a litre, down Rs 0.17. Customs duty stays at Rs 15.68, and the same Rs 80 levy and Rs 5 climate support levy apply. The way diesel is priced is in the guide to the diesel crack.
What a fill costs and what OGRA does not show
A bike fill of 5 litres of petrol costs Rs 1,969.30 on the OGRA price, Rs 6.00 more than yesterday. A car fill of 10 litres costs Rs 3,938.60, Rs 12.00 more. Your pump may charge a little more or less, since OGRA's figure leaves out the cost of moving fuel from the depot to the pump.
OGRA says the full effect of a change in the world price is passed on within seven working days. So a rise or fall in the Gulf price does not show in one day. To compare your pump with the official figure, use the OGRA pump price list. For why prices might ease or stay high into 2027, read the oil price outlook.
- Open the OGRA price publications page and choose the sheet for 15 October 2026.
- Find the line "Total Petrol Price (excl. Secondary Freight)" and read the figure.
- Multiply by the litres you buy to get your fill cost.
- Add the pump's local charge for moving fuel, if it shows a higher price.
