Lahore – The government has adjusted the prices of petroleum products and lowered rates of petrol while raising rates of high-speed diesel in Islamabad. The new prices will be implemented from August 12, 2026.
The price of petrol has now been cut by Rs 1.70 per litre, and the new rate has been fixed at Rs 325.92 per litre, the Petroleum Division had said in a notification.
However, the price of high-speed diesel has been hiked up by Rs 1.39 per litre. The new price of diesel will be Rs 382.25 per litre after the hike.

The New rates of both the Products will come into effect from August 12, 2026, according to the Notification issued by the Government.
