OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) sets petrol and diesel prices every 1st and 15th of the month. The price is calculated based on international crude oil prices (Arab Light), the USD/PKR exchange rate, taxes, including the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL), and dealer/distributor margins. The government typically announces new prices around midnight on the 1st and 15th.
CNG pricing is set by provincial governments and varies by region. Region 1 (Punjab & KPK) has different rates than Region 2 (Sindh & Balochistan). LPG prices follow international propane/butane rates and are controlled separately by OGRA. The final pump price always includes OGRA margin, distribution costs, and dealer commission.
Use our city filter to find the cheapest pump near you. Price differences between stations in the same city can be PKR 3–8 per liter.
OGRA announces price changes on these dates. If a price hike is expected, fill your tank just before midnight.
Properly inflated tyres improve fuel efficiency by up to 3%. Check your tyre pressure weekly.
Fuel is denser at lower temperatures. Filling at night or early morning gives you slightly more fuel per liter.
Most commonly used fuel in Pakistan. Suitable for motorcycles, small cars, and most 1000cc–1300cc vehicles. Default fuel at most pumps.
Higher octane fuel for modern engines. Used in 1500cc+ vehicles, imported cars, and performance vehicles. Not available at all pumps.
Used in trucks, buses, tractors, SUVs (Prado, Land Cruiser), and generators. Most widely consumed fuel by volume in Pakistan.
Very popular in Pakistan due to lower cost. Used in rickshaws, taxis, and converted private cars. CNG stations have different operating hours and may be closed some days due to government load management.
Used in cooking and increasingly in vehicles as an alternative to CNG. Available in cylinders and auto-LPG dispensers.

Historical data compiled from PakWheels Petroleum Prices archive and OGRA notifications. Prices are in PKR per litre. OGRA notifications are typically fortnightly (1st & 15th); a handful of mid-cycle revisions also appear.
PetrolRate.pk (also known simply as Petrol Rate) is an independent Pakistani fuel-price tracker for petrol, diesel, CNG and LPG. Our aim is simple: show you the petrol price in Pakistan today in one clear, trustworthy place — taken straight from the official OGRA notification and cross-checked against PSO and Shell price boards.
We track the national rate plus 20 major cities — including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi — and keep a 20-year archive of every OGRA revision, so you can see exactly how fuel prices in Pakistan have moved. The page is updated by hand within hours of each fortnightly notification — see how we source and verify prices, or read more about PetrolRate.pk. Bookmark it to check the petrol price in Pakistan whenever rates change.
Every rate on this page is taken from the official OGRA (Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority) fortnightly notification and cross-checked against the public price boards of PSO and Shell Pakistan. We do not estimate or predict prices — we publish the notified figure once it is confirmed by at least two of these sources.
OGRA revises fuel prices on the 1st and 15th of each month (24 times a year), with occasional mid-cycle revisions. Each page is updated by hand within hours of the notification. The "Rates effective" date at the top of this page always shows the exact notification we are reporting.
PetrolRate.pk is maintained by an independent editorial team based in Pakistan that has tracked OGRA fuel notifications since 2024. We are not affiliated with OGRA, any oil marketing company, or any petrol pump. The site is reader-funded and carries no paid price placements.
City-level pump prices can vary by a few rupees due to the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin and dealer commission, so treat these as reference rates and confirm at the pump. Spotted an error? Tell us and we will correct it, with the change reflected in the "Updated" date.
