Expected Diesel Price decrease in Pakistan from 10 July 2026
Pakistan is likely to witness another reduction in diesel prices from 10 July 2026 if international oil market trends remain favorable. According to current market expectations the High-Speed Diesel price could decrease by around Rs 3 per litre bringing the expected diesel rate down to Rs. 306.81 per litre from the current Rs. 309.81 per litre. Although the government has not yet issued an official notification, falling international crude oil prices and stable exchange rates are supporting expectations of another price cut.
| Fuel | Current price | Expected price | Expected change |
| Diesel | Rs 309.81 | Rs 306.81 | Rs -3.00 |
Note: This is an expected price based on current international oil market trends. The final notification will be issued by the Government of Pakistan after OGRA’s price review.

Recent Diesel prices in Pakistan
| Date | Diesel price |
| 1 July 2026 | Rs 311.78 |
| 4 July 2026 | Rs 309.81 |
| Expected 10 July 2026 | Rs 306.81 |
The expected reduction would continue the recent downward trend in diesel prices.
International Crude Oil Prices
Global crude oil prices remain one of the biggest factors affecting fuel prices in Pakistan.
| Crude oil benchmark | Estimate price USD/Barrel |
| Brent Crude | 68-71 |
| WTI Crude | 66-69 |
Lower international crude prices generally reduce Pakistan’s import cost for petroleum products.
Why Diesel Prices Decrease Again?
Several domestic and international factors are supporting another possible reduction.
1. Lower Global Oil Prices
International crude oil prices have remained relatively stable over recent weeks, reducing import costs for oil-importing countries.
2. Stable Pakistani Rupee
A stable exchange rate against the US Dollar helps reduce the landed cost of imported diesel.
3. Lower Import Premiums
Freight charges and import premiums have eased compared to previous months, supporting lower petroleum pricing.
4. OGRA’s Price Review
OGRA calculates fuel prices based on:
- International diesel prices
- Exchange rate
- Freight costs
- Petroleum Development Levy (PDL)
- Dealer commission
- Oil Marketing Company margins
- Applicable taxes
These factors collectively determine the final consumer price announced by the government.
Expected Diesel Price Breakdown
The expected diesel price of Rs. 306.81 per litre may include the following components.
| Component | Estimate cost (Rs/L) |
| Import cost | 208.50 |
| Refinery margin | 9.20 |
| Dealer commission | 8.64 |
| Transportation cost | 7.20 |
| Marketing margin | 4.50 |
| PDL | 70.00 |
| Carbon levy | 5.00 |
| Sales tax & other taxes | 3.77 |
| Total expected rate | 306.81 |
Figures are estimated and may vary in the official notification of government of Pakistan
Carbon Levy Impact
Pakistan continues implementing the Carbon Levy as part of environmental and fiscal reforms.
| Fiscal year | Carbon levy |
| 2025-26 | Rs 2.50 liter |
| 2026-27 | Rs 5.00 liter |
Although the levy increases the overall fuel price, lower international crude prices can still offset part of its impact.

Diesel Consumption in Pakistan
Diesel remains one of the country’s most important fuels.
| Sector | Estimate share |
| Transpoortaion | 45% |
| Agriculture | 25% |
| Industry | 20% |
| Power generation | 10% |
Millions of litres of diesel are consumed every day across these sectors. The final diesel price will depend on:
- International crude oil prices
- Exchange rate movement
- Import premium
- Freight charges
- Government taxes and levies
- OGRA’s final pricing calculations
Any sudden increase in global oil prices could reduce or eliminate the expected relief.
Is the Diesel Price Expected to Fall?
Based on current international oil market trends, many analysts expect diesel prices in Pakistan to decrease by around Rs 3 per litre from 10 July 2026. However, the exact reduction will only be confirmed after OGRA submits its pricing summary and the federal government issues the official notification.
Conclusion
The expected diesel price in Pakistan from 10 July 2026 is Rs. 306.81 per litre that reflects a possible Rs 3 reduction from the current rate of Rs. 309.81 per litre. If international crude oil prices remain stable and the exchange rate does not fluctuate significantly, consumers across the transport, agriculture, industrial and commercial sectors could receive another round of fuel price relief.
