Diesel crosses Rs400 after petrol price up by Rs5 per liter

The federal government on Friday again increased the costs of petrol and diesel. The price of diesel has crossed the Rs400 per liter mark amid fresh hike in the rates of petroleum products.

According to a statement published by the Petroleum Division on Friday, the price of fuel has been hiked by Rs5.02 per liter, which will now cost Rs375.82. The price of high-speed diesel has risen by Rs5.28 a liter to Rs403.32.

According to the notification, the new tariffs will be applied for three days and will be effective from September 12, 2026.

The new revision came a day after the administration increased petroleum prices again. Petrol had increased by Rs3.05 a liter, while diesel was Rs5.37 costlier a liter on Thursday.

A series of hikes have driven up costs of both the major fuels considerably in a short span of time.

In the latest notification, petrol will now be sold for Rs375.82 a liter, compared to its previous pricing after Thursday’s hike, while diesel has crossed the Rs400 threshold for the first time in the latest round of changes.

The new pricing are to be in effect until September 14, when the government can announce another change.
