Petrol Dips Slightly to Rs390.79, But Diesel Jumps Past Rs424 — Sept 18 Rates
OGRA cuts petrol by Rs0.43 while raising diesel by Rs3.47 for September 18, a day after both fuels rose sharply under the daily pricing mechanism.
Petrol drops slightly to Rs390.79 while diesel rises to Rs424.92 per litre effective September 18, 2026, under Pakistan's daily fuel pricing mechanism.
The government has cut petrol by Rs0.43 per litre to Rs390.79, while high-speed diesel rose by Rs3.47 to Rs424.92 per litre, effective September 18, 2026, according to an OGRA notification under the daily petroleum pricing mechanism. This follows Wednesday's sharper hike, when petrol jumped Rs6.88 to Rs391.22 and diesel rose Rs5.62 to Rs421.45.
The Bottom Line
A tiny relief on petrol barely offsets diesel's continued climb past Rs424 — with prices now moving daily, transporters and consumers alike should expect this back-and-forth pattern to continue as global oil markets stay unsettled.
