ISLAMABAD — Petrol price in Pakistan is expected to increase from February 16, 2026, following the latest fuel review. The hike will impact petrol, diesel, kerosene, and light diesel oil, making road travel more expensive.
According to official projections, petrol prices may rise by Rs4.39 per litre, reaching Rs257.56. High-speed diesel is set to increase by Rs5.40 per litre, bringing it to Rs273.78. Kerosene oil could see a Rs4 per litre rise, while light diesel oil is expected to jump by Rs6.55, reaching Rs160.96 per litre.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has completed its initial review and will forward its price recommendations to the Petroleum Division. If approved, these revised rates will take effect nationwide from February 16.
Authorities say the adjustments reflect global oil price trends and domestic supply costs. The revision aims to align fuel prices with current market conditions while ensuring transparency in pricing. Consumers are advised to plan accordingly, as transportation and energy costs may rise following the increase.
This expected hike is part of Pakistan’s regular fuel price review, which is conducted monthly to adjust rates based on international oil prices, currency fluctuations, and other economic factors. The government emphasizes that the price revision is necessary to maintain a balance between fuel supply and market demand.
Motorists and transporters are monitoring the update closely, as petrol and diesel are essential for daily commuting and business activities.
