Petrol and Diesel Prices Revised Once Again in Pakistan for August 20, 2026

The Government of Pakistan has announced an increase in petrol price; however, diesel price have been decreased for August 20, 2026. Petrol will now cost Rs. 337.51 per litre, reflecting an increase of Rs. 2.97, while high-speed diesel will cost Rs. 363.06 per litre, down Rs. 32.63. As with the government’s daily price revisions, the new rates will take effect at 12 AM and remain in effect throughout August 20, until the next revision.

Yesterday, the price of petrol was raised by Rs. 3.34, raising its price to Rs. 334.54. The diesel price also saw an increase of Rs. 5.27, raising its price to Rs. 395.69. The latest increases have now more than offset the small reductions seen during the previous week.

Since the start of this week, petrol and diesel prices have been on an upward trend, adding further pressure to transportation and operating costs across the country. Diesel prices can have a significant impact on inflation because diesel-powered commercial vehicles, freight trucks and agricultural machinery play a major role in moving goods and supporting economic activity. Higher diesel costs can therefore feed into transportation, logistics and agricultural expenses, eventually putting pressure on the prices of goods and services.
