- The previous day the regulator reduced petrol by Rs3.19 per litre and diesel by Rs1.50 per litre, moves that reflected the new rolling pricing approach introduced in July.
- Under the daily framework OGRA sets ex-depot prices using a seven-day international average and will publish daily Singapore Platts reference rates with no need for prior prime ministerial approval.
- Adviser to the finance minister Khurram Schehzad confirmed the government will phase the petroleum levy back toward the budgeted Rs80 per litre and that any levy change requires Finance Division sign‑off.
- Regulators also tightened supply rules for FY2026-27 by routing diesel imports through Pakistan State Oil and by threatening bans for non-compliant firms while transporters have announced a wheel-jam strike demanding lower diesel taxes and earlier price levels.
