Petrol Price in Pakistan Tomorrow — 21 September 2026

Petrol and high-speed diesel in Pakistan change price only when OGRA publishes a new notification. There is no fixed daily cycle — a notification is announced, it takes effect from a stated date, and it routinely holds for several days, across weekends and public holidays. Until that notification exists, tomorrow's rate is not a secret being withheld; it has not been set.

So anything you read about tomorrow's price, here or anywhere else, is a projection. What separates one projection from another is whether it says how it was produced and keeps a public record of how often it was right. This one does both, above.

Today's notified rate is in force through 20 September 2026 unless a new notification supersedes it.

OGRA's published formula recomputed with the period's average USD/PKR and an assessment nowcast from a 9-day crude benchmark average

It holds the following constant. Each one is a real way the estimate can be wrong, which is why they are listed rather than buried:

• The exchange rate is averaged over the 10 days to now, not over OGRA's own pricing window, which OGRA does not publish.
• The Platts Arab Gulf assessment is moved by the proportional change in a 9-day average of a crude benchmark, with no fitted coefficient. The refining spread between crude and the product is held constant.
• The premium over the assessment is held constant. OGRA re-sets it without warning, and every forecast that has pointed the wrong way so far was a re-set of it.
• Petroleum Levy, Climate Support Levy, sales tax, margins and IFEM are held constant. Policy changes are not predictable from market data.
• The range reflects observed market movement only. It is not a confidence interval.

Exchange-rate samples used in this run: 11.

Two inputs do most of the work. Pakistan imports most of its refined product, so the ex-refinery component tracks the Arab Gulf benchmark rather than any domestic cost, and cargoes are invoiced in dollars — so when the rupee weakens between pricing windows, the same barrel lands at a higher rupee cost. On top of that sit the Petroleum Development Levy, the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin and sales tax, which move only when the government changes them.

These are the figures published alongside the current notification (as of 19 September 2026), not a live market feed — they move when a new notification lands, not through the day.

How petrol price is calculated in Pakistan walks through the full formula, from the import cost to the pump.

High-speed diesel is estimated at Rs 424.79 per litre for 21 September 2026, against Rs 424.04 today — a change of +0.75. Diesel is notified at a single countrywide rate exactly as petrol is, so this applies everywhere in Pakistan.

Will petrol price increase tomorrow in Pakistan?

On this model, yes — the estimate is higher than today. Petrol is Rs 389.14 per litre today and the estimate for 21 September 2026 is Rs 389.91 per litre, a change of +0.77. It is an estimate, not a notification: the rate only actually changes when OGRA publishes one.

When does OGRA announce the new petrol price?

When a new notification is issued — there is no fixed daily cycle. A notification is announced and takes effect from the stated date, and a single notification routinely covers several days, including weekends and public holidays. That is why this site shows an effective-through date rather than claiming a daily update.

How accurate is this tomorrow estimate?

Its published record is 52.9% over 34 periods. The percentage is meaningless without that count, so both are shown together. The range around the estimate reflects observed exchange-rate movement only — it is not a confidence interval.

Should I fill up today or wait for tomorrow?

On the current estimate a 40-litre tank costs Rs 30.80 more tomorrow than today. That is the whole of the arithmetic — on a difference this size, queueing at a pump is usually worth more than the rupees involved.

Everything on this page is built on today's notification, which is the only confirmed figure in it. Today's petrol price in Pakistan carries the full picture: the current rate for every notified product, what changed since the last revision, city-wise Hi-Octane figures, and the breakdown of what makes up each litre.
