The petrol price in Pakistan today is Rs330 per litre. It applies from Saturday, November 14 to Monday, November 16, 2026, after OGRA cut petrol by Rs2. High-speed diesel stays at Rs360 per litre.[2][3][4][5] It is the ninth petrol cut in a row, and petrol is now Rs16 cheaper than it was on November 7.[2][4][6]

Today's fuel prices
OGRA issued the new rates on the evening of Friday, November 13. Petrol fell from Rs332 to Rs330 per litre. Diesel, which had been cut by Rs4 the day before, was left at Rs360.[2][3][7] The new rates cover the weekend and Monday, November 14 to 16.[2][3][4]
| Product | Old rate (Nov 13) | New rate (Nov 14 to 16) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs332.00 | Rs330.00 | -Rs2.00 |
| High-speed diesel (HSD) | Rs360.00 | Rs360.00 | No change |
| Kerosene oil (weekly rate) | Rs308.52 | Rs283.64 | -Rs24.88 |
The petrol and diesel figures come from the OGRA notification as reported by Dawn, Geo News, The Nation and ARY News.[2][3][4][5] The kerosene figures come from OGRA's own kerosene notification dated November 13, which we read on the regulator's website. We did not find outlets reporting the kerosene rate at the time of writing, so treat it as the official figure only.[1]
Kerosene and light diesel oil
Kerosene runs on a different timetable from petrol and diesel. OGRA has been issuing kerosene notifications once a week, with rates taking effect on October 31, November 7 and now November 14.[1] The new maximum ex-depot price is Rs283.64 per litre, down from Rs308.52. Of that, Rs20.36 is petroleum levy, unchanged from last week.[1]
The "ex-depot" price is the most oil companies can charge at 23 named depots. OGRA's notification says companies can add secondary freight beyond those depots and in special areas of Balochistan, Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas, so the price you pay in a remote town can be higher.[1]
Light diesel oil (LDO) is not in OGRA's latest notification. The government treats LDO, like high-octane blending component (HOBC), as a deregulated product whose price is not directly fixed by the state, although levy changes still feed into it.[1][17] Kerosene demand is small next to petrol and diesel: about 10,000 tonnes a month, against roughly 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes each for petrol and diesel.[2][4]
Price history: November 2026
Petrol has been cut at every revision this month. Here is how the two main fuels moved, using the dates each rate took effect.[2][6][7][8]
| Effective date | Petrol (Rs/litre) | Diesel (Rs/litre) | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| November 5 | 362.00 | 387.81 | [12] |
| November 6 | 352.59 | 382.25 | [13] |
| November 7 to 10 | 346.00 | 378.00 | [6][11] |
| November 11 | 338.00 | 371.00 | [6][8][9] |
| November 12 | 335.00 | 364.00 | [6][10] |
| November 13 | 332.00 | 360.00 | [6][7] |
| November 14 to 16 | 330.00 | 360.00 | [2][3][6] |
From November 5 to November 14, petrol is down Rs32 a litre and diesel is down Rs27.81.[2][12] For someone filling 10 litres of petrol, that is Rs3,300 now, against Rs3,460 on November 7 and Rs3,620 on November 5.[2][6][12]
Why the price changed
World oil prices
Pakistan's prices now follow international oil closely. Since July 17, OGRA has set fuel prices on a near-daily basis in line with world markets, a job the cabinet and prime minister gave it after fighting between Iran and the United States resumed.[2][4] Before that, prices were reviewed weekly from early March, and fortnightly before the war.[2][3]
World oil has been easing this week. Reuters reported on November 13 that oil was set for a second straight weekly fall on signs of a supply surplus, and Brent crude traded between about $93 and $96 a barrel on Thursday and Friday.[6][7][15][16] Lower import costs are what allow OGRA to keep cutting.[2][15]
Petroleum levy and taxes
The tax take per litre has stayed high. Dawn and The Nation report that the government continues to collect about Rs114 per litre in taxes and duties on petrol and Rs100 on diesel, the same figures they gave for the November 11 and 13 revisions.[2][4][7][8] So most of this week's relief has come from cheaper oil rather than lower tax.[2][15]
There is one extra factor this month. Under a 30-day arrangement announced on November 2, oil refineries are bearing Rs15 billion of the petroleum levy. The government says this takes Rs14.71 a litre off the petrol price at the pump.[2][4][13]
Exchange rate
Because oil is bought in dollars, the rupee matters too. It has been stable this week: the rupee closed at Rs276.60 to the dollar in the interbank market on November 13, a small gain on the day.[14][18] With the currency steady, falling world prices have passed through to the pump without being offset by a weaker rupee.[2][14]
How far prices have come in 2026
The current run of cuts follows a huge spike earlier in the year. Petrol was about Rs266 per litre in the first week of March, then hit a record Rs458.41 on April 3. Diesel climbed from Rs281 after the US-Iran war began on February 28 to a peak of Rs520.35, also on April 3.[2][4]
Petrol at Rs330 is about Rs128 below that peak, but still about Rs64 above where it was in early March.[2][4] The government has also kept austerity rules in place, including markets closing by 9pm and a 50% cut in fuel for official vehicles for three months.[2][4]
Who gets extra help
The Prime Minister's Fuel Relief Scheme, launched nationwide on September 17, gives targeted help to owners of motorcycles, rickshaws and vehicles with engines up to 800cc.[2][4] Petrol matters most to these groups: it is mainly used in private cars, small vehicles, rickshaws and two-wheelers, while diesel feeds heavy transport, power plants and large generators.[2][4]
Frequently asked questions
What is the petrol price in Pakistan today?
Rs330 per litre from November 14 to 16, 2026, according to OGRA's notification.[2][3][5]
What is the diesel price in Pakistan today?
High-speed diesel is Rs360 per litre, unchanged in the latest revision.[2][3][5]
When will the next petrol price be announced?
The current rate covers only November 14 to 16, so a new OGRA notification is expected for prices from Tuesday, November 17. Rates now change every few days rather than every two weeks.[2][3] Kerosene is set weekly, so its next rate would normally take effect on November 21.[1]
Why does the price change so often?
Since July 17, OGRA has priced fuel near-daily so that moves in world oil reach consumers quickly, after renewed US-Iran hostilities made oil prices volatile.[2][3][4]
