Islamabad: March 7, 2026 The government has announced a massive increase of Rs 55 per litre in the prices of petrol and diesel, according to official sources.
The new price of petrol will be Rs 321 per liter, while the new price of diesel will be Rs 335 per liter.
The decision was taken after a high-level meeting attended by the Finance Minister, Petroleum Minister, Commerce Minister, and other senior officials, as authorities reviewed the rapidly changing global oil market situation.
New Petrol Diesel Prices Effective Immediately
The revised petroleum prices will come into effect from 12 midnight tonight across the country.
Officials stated that the increase was necessary due to rising international oil prices and ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which have pushed global crude prices higher.
Impact on Economy
The sharp increase in petrol and diesel prices is expected to raise transportation costs and potentially increase the prices of essential goods and services across the country.
Diesel price changes particularly affect transport, agriculture, and supply chains, while petrol is widely used in motorcycles and private vehicles.
Government Monitoring the Situation
Authorities said the government is closely monitoring global oil markets and supply conditions. Further decisions regarding petroleum pricing will depend on international price movements and economic considerations.
