Why Pakistan's Price Lags the World Market
OGRA prices fuel on a rolling 7-working-day average of Platts assessments, so a jump or fall in world prices reaches Pakistani pumps gradually. The rupee–dollar rate and the petroleum levy can also offset international moves. See the recent trend →
What Else Moves the Pakistani Price
OGRA uses a rolling 7-working-day average of Platts Arab Gulf assessments (gasoline 92 for petrol, Dubai crude + diesel crack for HSD). A global rise shows up gradually, not overnight.
Imports are paid in dollars. The SBP average exchange rate converts that cost into rupees, so a weaker rupee raises the price even if oil is flat.
The federal government sets the Petroleum Levy and Climate Support Levy per litre within the cap approved by parliament. These are the largest non-product part of the price.
Import premium, ocean freight, customs duty and the inland freight equalisation margin (IFEM) keep prices uniform nationwide.
Oil marketing company and petrol pump dealer margins are fixed per litre and revised by government decision, not daily.
Since July 2026 OGRA notifies prices every working day; Friday’s price stays until Monday. Bigger swings now spread across many small moves.
