How Often Are Petrol Prices Revised in Pakistan?
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) reviews and recommends petroleum prices twice a month — on the 1st and 16th of each month. The federal government then issues an official notification with the final prices. Price changes depend on:
- Global crude oil prices (Brent and WTI benchmarks)
- USD/PKR exchange rate
- Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) — currently Rs 60/litre on petrol
- Sales Tax (currently 0% on petrol under IMF agreement conditions)
- OGRA’s refinery cost and freight calculations
The next petrol price revision is expected around 16 June 2026. Based on current crude oil trends (Brent hovering around USD 72–74/barrel), analysts expect prices to remain broadly stable or see a minor adjustment of ±Rs 2–5/litre.

How Petrol Price Affects Car Running Costs in Pakistan
At Rs 381.78/litre, here is what you pay monthly depending on your car’s fuel efficiency:
| Car Type | Fuel Average (km/L) | Monthly Fuel Cost (1,500 km) |
|---|---|---|
| Suzuki Alto / 660cc Kei | 18–22 km/L | Rs 26,000–32,000 |
| Toyota Prius / Aqua Hybrid | 25–31 km/L | Rs 18,500–23,000 |
| Honda City / Toyota Yaris | 13–15 km/L | Rs 38,000–44,000 |
| Toyota Fortuner / Prado SUV | 8–11 km/L | Rs 52,000–71,000 |
This highlights why hybrid cars in Pakistan are gaining popularity — the fuel savings over 5 years can offset thousands of rupees in purchase premium.
OGRA Formula: How Is the Petrol Price Calculated?
Pakistan’s petrol price formula has three main components:
- Ex-Refinery Price: Based on import parity — tied to Platts (Platt’s Mean of Platts Singapore) plus freight and insurance.
- Petroleum Development Levy (PDL): A government levy currently capped at Rs 60/litre on petrol, a key revenue source.
- Sales Tax: Under current IMF conditions, effectively 0% on petrol (applied selectively).
The formula also includes dealer margins (~Rs 7.41/litre) and OMC (Oil Marketing Company) margins. Understanding this helps consumers distinguish between global price-driven changes and government-imposed levy changes.

CNG vs Petrol vs Diesel: Which Is Cheapest in Pakistan 2026?
| Fuel | Price (per unit) | Effective Cost (Rs/100 km) |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (1,200cc car) | Rs 381.78/L | Rs 2,545 |
| CNG (1,200cc car) | ~Rs 180/kg | Rs 1,440 |
| Diesel (1,800cc) | Rs 380.78/L | Rs 2,700 |
| Hybrid Petrol (Prius) | Rs 381.78/L | Rs 1,527 |
CNG remains the cheapest fuel per kilometre but comes with supply uncertainty (CNG stations close 2–3 days per week in many cities). The hybrid petrol option offers CNG-level savings without supply constraints. Also see our full most fuel-efficient cars Pakistan 2026 comparison.
Impact of Petrol Price on Pakistan’s Auto Market
Rising petrol prices between 2023–2026 reshaped Pakistan’s car market significantly:
- 660cc Kei car demand surged: Daihatsu Mira, Suzuki Spacia, and Honda N-Box imports increased as buyers sought fuel-efficient alternatives.
- Hybrid adoption accelerated: Toyota Prius and Aqua remained top choices for those making the switch.
- Motorcycle sales spiked: With petrol at Rs 400+/litre, motorbike commuting became the default for millions.
- Long-distance travel declined: Intercity car travel fell as fuel budgets tightened for families.
The Rs 22/litre reduction in May 2026 has provided some relief, but prices remain more than 50% higher than 2022 levels. For smart buying decisions in this environment, read our guide on car insurance in Pakistan to also plan your total ownership cost.
Tips to Reduce Petrol Consumption in Pakistan
- Maintain correct tyre pressure: Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption by 3–5%.
- Service your air filter: A clogged filter raises fuel consumption by up to 10%.
- Avoid idling: Idling for 10 minutes burns ~0.25 litres — at Rs 381/litre, that’s wasted money.
- Use cruise control on motorways: Maintaining steady speed cuts consumption by 7–10% on long drives. Check our motorway toll rates guide before your next trip.
- Plan routes to avoid traffic: Stop-start city traffic doubles urban fuel consumption versus highway driving.
- Consider a hybrid or 660cc import: If your annual mileage exceeds 25,000 km, the savings justify the switch. Read our 660cc cars complete guide.
Frequently Asked Questions — Petrol Prices Pakistan 2026
What is the petrol price in Pakistan today (June 2026)?
The current petrol price in Pakistan is Rs 381.78 per litre, effective from 30 May 2026, after a Rs 22.00 reduction ordered by the federal government.
When is the next petrol price revision?
The next price revision is scheduled for around 16 June 2026. OGRA revises prices twice monthly — on the 1st and 16th of each month based on global oil market changes.
What was the highest petrol price in Pakistan’s history?
The all-time high was Rs 458.40 per litre, recorded on 3 April 2026, driven by a combination of high global crude prices and a weaker rupee.
Who sets petrol prices in Pakistan?
OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) calculates the ex-refinery price and recommends new rates to the federal government. The Prime Minister/Finance Ministry approves and officially notifies the final consumer price.
What is the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) on petrol?
The PDL on petrol is currently Rs 60 per litre. It is a major source of government revenue and is not subject to IMF negotiations in the same way as sales tax.
Is petrol cheaper in Pakistan than in India?
As of June 2026, Indian petrol prices are approximately Rs 95–105/litre (INR), which converts to roughly Rs 290–320 PKR at current exchange rates — making petrol in India cheaper when currency-adjusted. However, Indian wages are also higher, so the affordability ratio differs.
How much does it cost to fill a full tank in Pakistan 2026?
At Rs 381.78/litre: a 30-litre tank (small hatchback) costs ~Rs 11,453; a 40-litre tank (sedan) costs ~Rs 15,271; a 70-litre tank (SUV like Fortuner) costs ~Rs 26,725.
Will petrol prices go down further in 2026?
Analysts project modest downward pressure if Brent crude stays below USD 75/barrel and the PKR remains stable. However, any PDL increase or currency depreciation could push prices back up. The Rs 22/litre cut in May 2026 was among the largest single-fortnight reductions in recent years.
