Petrol Rates in Pakistan from October 16

Products Old Price New Price Increase/Decrease
MS (Petrol) 249.03 249.03  -0.00
High-Speed Diesel (HSD) 246.29 251.29 -5.00

The Finance Division issued a notification for the latest fuel prices worked out by the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) for the next fortnight.

Petrol is mainly utilized in private transportation, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers, greatly impacting the budgets of the middle and lower-middle classes.

However, a significant portion of the transport sector relies on high-speed diesel. Its price is viewed as inflationary since it is predominantly used in heavy transport vehicles, trains, and agricultural machinery such as trucks, buses, tractors, tube wells, and threshers, which particularly contributes to the increased prices of vegetables and other food items.
