Petrol and Diesel Prices Increased in Pakistan Yet Again for the Weekend Starting August 22, 2026

The Government of Pakistan has increased the price of both petrol and diesel yet again for the weekend starting August 22, 2026. The new price of petrol in Pakistan is Rs. 341. 59 after an increase of Rs. 3.81, while the new price of diesel in Pakistan is Rs. 368.29 after an increase of Rs. 3.59. As always, the prices will go live tonight at 12 am, and they will remain live throughout the weekend. The next revision will come on August 24, 2026, Monday night.

Yesterday, the prices of both petrol and diesel were raised. The previous price of petrol was Rs. 337.38, and the price of diesel was Rs. 364.70. Throughout this week, we saw an upward trend in the price of petrol, and it just kept rising from its starting price of Rs. 325.43. Diesel, on the other hand, started the week with an increase, but in the middle of the week, it saw a prominent decrease when it came down from Rs. 395.69 to Rs. 363.06. However, since then, its price has been trending upward again.

Global oil prices remain elevated as supply concerns continue to weigh on the market. Brent crude is trading around $94 per barrel, with prices on track for a second consecutive weekly increase as ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to threaten Middle Eastern oil flows. Reduced shipments through the key route, along with disruptions to Iranian exports, are tightening available supply and keeping upward pressure on international crude prices.
