Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan for July 24, 2026

The latest revision has increased the ex-depot prices of both petrol and HSD.

The revised rates took effect from July 24, 2026.

Petrol Price Rises Again Amid Daily Fuel Revisions

Petrol has seen a noticeable turnaround over the latest daily reviews.

On July 21, its price was reduced by Re0.35, bringing the rate down from Rs316.15 to Rs315.80 per litre. The direction changed the following day, when petrol rose by Rs4.93 to Rs320.73 per litre.

Another increase followed for July 23, adding Rs6.39 per litre and taking petrol to Rs327.12. The latest Rs4.40 adjustment has now pushed the rate to Rs331.52 per litre for July 24.

Since falling to Rs315.80 on July 21, petrol has subsequently gained Rs15.72 per litre, showing how quickly rates can move under the new system.

High-Speed Diesel Becomes More Expensive in Each New Revision

High-speed diesel has followed a clearer upward path.

The rate increased by Rs5.71 on July 21, moving from Rs354.35 to Rs360.06 per litre. This was followed by a Rs7.15 increase for July 22, which lifted HSD to Rs367.21.

For July 23, another Rs7.83 was added, taking the rate to Rs375.04. The latest adjustment of Rs3.62 has now placed HSD at Rs378.66 per litre.

Compared with the Rs354.35 rate before the July 21 adjustment, HSD is now Rs24.31 per litre more expensive.

Why Are Petrol and Diesel Prices Changing Every Day in Pakistan?

The frequent revisions follow Pakistan's move to a daily petroleum pricing mechanism.

Previously, petroleum product prices were reviewed weekly. Under the new arrangement, fuel rates are now reviewed every day as the government responds to movements in the international oil market.

This does not necessarily mean prices will increase every day. The July 21 revision itself showed that different products can move in different directions: petrol became cheaper by Re0.35 while HSD increased by Rs5.71.

What has changed for consumers is the frequency of revisions. Instead of waiting for a weekly adjustment, motorists and businesses can now see fuel rates change from one day to the next.

What Do Higher Petrol and Diesel Prices Mean for Consumers?

Petrol price changes are felt directly by people who rely on motorcycles, cars and rickshaws for everyday transport.

HSD has wider commercial importance because it is extensively consumed by heavy transport, agriculture and industrial sectors. As a result, higher diesel prices can put additional pressure on freight and transportation expenses.

For households and businesses, the bigger change is not simply the latest increase. Fuel prices are now being reviewed much more frequently, making the latest daily rate increasingly important for travel and operating-cost decisions.
