The Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) announced the revised rates after reviewing recommendations submitted by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) under the government’s petroleum pricing mechanism.
According to the official notification, the price of petrol has risen by Rs1.63 per litre. As a result, the new ex-depot price stands at Rs335.81 per litre, up from Rs334.18 per litre.
Diesel price also increased
The government also increased the price of high-speed diesel by Rs1.55 per litre.
Consequently, the new ex-depot price of diesel has reached Rs388.38 per litre, compared with the previous rate of Rs386.83 per litre.
The ministry said the revised prices became effective on Wednesday, July 29, and will remain in place until the next fortnightly review.
Impact on consumers and transport
Petrol remains the primary fuel for private vehicles, motorcycles and small-scale transport across the country.
Meanwhile, high-speed diesel powers heavy transport vehicles, agricultural equipment and industrial machinery. Therefore, changes in diesel prices often influence freight costs and the prices of goods and services.
Analysts say fuel price adjustments can affect transportation expenses, inflation trends and overall economic activity, particularly when energy costs remain elevated.
