Expect a massive relief at the pumps as today’s petrol rate in Pakistan is set to tumble following a 16% crash in international crude oil. Following the recent US-Iran ceasefire, the government is finalizing a significant cut in petroleum prices in Pakistan, potentially slashing rates by Rs. 30 to Rs. 60 per litre.
Global Crash Triggers Major Fuel Price Drop in Pakistan
After the mid-month volatility, the US-Iran ceasefire has sent international oil prices into a tailspin. This global slump is the primary driver for the upcoming relief in fuel prices in Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has already directed the Finance and Petroleum ministries to pass this benefit. While today petrol price in Pakistan stands at Rs. 378.41 per litre, the next official review—likely by April 16—could see this figure drop significantly.
Current Fuel Rates in Pakistan (April 10, 2026)
Before the new notification hits, these are the active rates across the country:
-
Petrol (Premier Euro 5): Rs. 378.41 per litre
-
High-Speed Diesel (HSD): Rs. 520.35 per litre

Why Diesel and Petrol Prices in Pakistan Will Fall Further
The government recently showed agility by cutting the petrol price in Pakistan today by Rs. 80 within 24 hours of a hike. Now, with the international market cooling, officials are reviewing a further reduction. Reports suggest the diesel price in Pakistan might see the biggest cut—some sources hint at nearly Rs. 90—to lower transport costs and inflation.
If you are planning a long trip or need to refuel a commercial fleet, wait for the upcoming OGRA notification. The current petrol rate is high, but the trend is firmly downward. This expected dip in petrol prices in Pakistan will likely be the most significant relief since the start of the year.
Stay tuned for the midnight notification. The era of Rs. 400+ petrol seems to be ending as petroleum prices in Pakistan align with the new global reality.
