Daily pricing: Rs5.16 cut on Oct 20
Petrol was cut by Rs5.16 to Rs381.14 per litre, effective 20 October 2026, as prices continue to be revised daily. A 20-litre bike fill now costs Rs7,622.80 (20 × Rs381.14). Diesel fell Rs7.69 to Rs389.27 and is not part of the relief scheme.
What the Rs100/litre relief is worth at Rs381.14
The PM Fuel Relief Scheme still pays Rs100 off every litre — so registered beneficiaries effectively pay Rs281.14 per litre:
- Bikes (20L monthly cap): Rs7,622.80 at the pump → Rs2,000 back → Rs5,622.80 effective.
- 800cc cars (30L monthly cap): Rs11,434.20 at the pump → Rs3,000 back → Rs8,434.20 effective.
- Against the previous price, the Rs5.16 cut saves Rs103.20 on a 20-litre fill (20 × Rs5.16).

Austerity returns alongside the price cut
The government reintroduced austerity measures on Oct 8 (Dawn): markets must close by 9pm, and official-vehicle fuel allocations are cut 50% for three months. The backdrop: daily prices are set from a 7-day rolling average of international prices, and OGRA can now announce revisions without prior PM approval.
Scheme at a glance
- 8.4M+ registrations; 10.3M of 12.2M tokens redeemed across 129 districts (Oct-4 briefing figures, latest available).
- Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik says more than 9 million people are benefiting, and Rs400–500B has been set aside to keep the scheme running up to ten months if prices stay high — his stated preparedness, not money spent.

FAQs Petrol Price in Pakistan Today
Are these prices the same in every city?
Yes — the IFEM freight-equalisation mechanism keeps ex-depot prices uniform nationwide.
Is diesel subsidised too?
No. The Rs100/litre relief applies to petrol (bikes, rickshaws, Qingqi, 800cc cars) — diesel, kerosene and LDO are excluded.
When do prices change next?
October 21. Under the daily pricing framework a revision can land any evening — the current notification covers October 20.
Bottom line: Petrol is Rs381.14 per litre after the Rs5.16 cut effective 20 October 2026 — Rs17.82 below the Oct-9 peak — and the Rs100/litre relief means a bike owner effectively pays Rs281.14/L, capped at Rs2,000 a month on the 20-litre quota. Under daily pricing, the next revision is expected October 21.
