Government of Pakistan has Increased the Price for both Petrol and Diesel for August 19, 2026

The Government of Pakistan has increased the price of both petrol and diesel once again for August 19, 2026. The new price of petrol is now Rs. 334.54, an increase of Rs. 3.34, while the new price of diesel is now Rs. 395.69, an increase of Rs. 5.27. The new prices will go live at 12 am tonight and will be revised again tomorrow as per the government’s current schedule of daily price revisions on weekdays.

Yesterday, the price of petrol increased by Rs. 5.77, increasing its price from Rs. 325.43 per litre to Rs. 331.20 per litre. Diesel saw an increase of Rs. 6.47, increasing its price from Rs. 383.95 per litre to Rs. 390.42 per litre. Diesel is well on its way to hitting Rs. 400 per litre, while petrol is back on the rise once again. Both fuel types saw minor increases and decreases in the past week, which kept their prices fairly within a similar price bracket, but this week started with a significant increase in the prices of both.

As of today’s revisions, the price of diesel is nearing Rs. 400 per litre, with petrol gaining steadily towards this figure as well. So far, there is no news on whether the daily revision mechanism will be switched back to a weekly or monthly revision like before. Until the policy is revised, both petrol and diesel prices will be revised on a daily basis.
