Why Is the Petrol Price Changing Every Day?
Pakistan has moved to a daily petroleum pricing mechanism, which started on 17 July 2026. It replaced the old fortnightly and weekly reviews, so the government now issues a fresh notification almost every evening for the next day’s prices.
The government says the frequent revisions are needed because of:
- Volatile international oil prices, linked to the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which has also raised fuel supply concerns.
- Exchange rate movement. A stronger or weaker rupee directly changes the import cost of fuel.
- Taxes and the petroleum levy decided by the federal government.
Earlier this month, the government also reached an arrangement under which domestic refineries absorb about Rs15 billion a month, allowing petrol to be sold around Rs15 per litre below international market levels. Because of this daily system, the petrol price in Pakistan today can be different from yesterday’s rate.
