Islamabad: In a move providing partial relief to the inflation-hit masses, the federal government has officially announced a reduction in the price of petrol by Rs 4 per litre for the upcoming fortnight. However, the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) will remain unchanged.
The new prices officially took effect on June 6, 2026, and will remain in place until the next scheduled review. This marks the fourth consecutive time the government has revised petroleum prices downward, reflecting recent shifts in the global oil market.
🔴 Current Fuel Rates in Pakistan:
- Petrol (Super): The price has dropped from Rs 381.78 to Rs 377.78 per litre.
- High-Speed Diesel (HSD): The rate remains steady at Rs 380.78 per litre.
According to a press release from the Petroleum Division, the decrease in petrol prices was made possible by a recent dip in the Free on Board (FOB) price per barrel in the international market. However, significant upward pressure remains on diesel due to rising global costs and increased custom duties.
DuniKa Times Takeaway: While the Rs 4 drop in petrol offers some breathing room for daily commuters, the unchanged price of diesel means that transportation and freight costs for essential goods and groceries are unlikely to see any immediate reduction.
