The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) calculates the petrol price in Pakistan using a formula that combines global import cost, taxes and margins. Understanding this OGRA petrol price formula helps explain why the petrol rate in Pakistan changes every fortnight.

Several interconnected factors drive the fortnightly changes in the petrol price in Pakistan. Understanding these helps explain why the petrol rate keeps rising and when the next petrol price update is likely.
Pakistan imports over 80% of its petroleum needs, so Brent Crude and Arab Light directly influence the FOB cost of petrol imports. Geopolitical events — like the 2026 US–Iran conflict — can push crude USD 10–20 per barrel within days.
Oil is invoiced in US dollars, so any rupee depreciation raises the local petrol price. A one-rupee depreciation typically adds around Rs 0.40–0.50 per litre to the petrol rate in Pakistan.
The federal budget targets a specific petroleum levy collection each year. When collections lag, the government raises the levy — which is passed straight to consumers as a higher petrol price in Pakistan.
Pakistan's Extended Fund Facility with the IMF includes revenue commitments that constrain the government's ability to subsidise the petrol price. This is why international crude price rises are usually passed on to Pakistani consumers in full.
Local refineries — PARCO, Attock, National Refinery, Pakistan Refinery and Cnergyico — supply roughly 40% of Pakistan's petrol demand. Their agreed margins under the Brownfield Refining Policy also feed into the ex-depot petrol price.

OGRA publishes daily reference petrol prices based on a seven-day average of international market prices. Consumer petrol prices in Pakistan are typically notified every 15 days (on the 15th and last day of each month) but may be revised weekly during periods of high oil-price volatility.
Petrol arrives at ports in Karachi and is then transported inland. The Inland Freight Equalisation Margin (IFEM) keeps the ex-depot petrol price uniform, but dealers may add a small transport surcharge for remote regions, causing Rs 1–3 per litre variation.
OGRA calculates the reference petrol price using an approved formula. The Petroleum Division reviews it and the Finance Ministry finalises it. The Federal Government issues the official petrol price notification.
The current petrol price of Rs 391.22 per litre (effective 17 September 2026) is the highest ever recorded petrol price in Pakistan's history, surpassing the previous record of Rs 373/L set in June 2026 during the US–Iran conflict.
