Latest update — Thursday, 5 November 2026: Petrol is priced at Rs362.00 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) at Rs387.81 per litre. OGRA’s revised ex-depot rates include a reduction of Rs7.06 for petrol and Rs3.71 for HSD, effective from 5 November.
These rates replace the 4 November prices of Rs369.06 for petrol and Rs391.52 for HSD. Compared with 3 November, petrol is lower by Rs12.51 per litre and HSD by Rs7.39. The table below compares the three latest notified rates.
Recent notified price comparison
| Effective date | Petrol | High-speed diesel |
|---|---|---|
| 5 November 2026 | Rs362.00/litre | Rs387.81/litre |
| 4 November 2026 | Rs369.06/litre | Rs391.52/litre |
| 3 November 2026 | Rs374.51/litre | Rs395.20/litre |
These are the notified prices excluding secondary freight, which is the cost of moving fuel from an oil marketing company’s depot to an individual petrol pump. The official price sheet identifies this exclusion, so the published figure should be understood as the notified base rate rather than a promise about every additional charge or service at a particular outlet.
How much will a fuel refill cost?
Drivers can estimate the fuel portion of a refill by multiplying the number of litres by the current 5 November notified rate. The examples below use the latest prices:
- 10 litres of petrol: Rs3,620.00
- 20 litres of petrol: Rs7,240.00
- 40 litres of petrol: Rs14,480.00
- 50 litres of diesel: Rs19,390.50
For a personal estimate, use this simple calculation:
Litres required × price per litre = estimated fuel cost.
For example, a motorcycle that takes 5 litres would require about Rs1,810.00 at the 5 November petrol rate. Actual spending depends on the quantity dispensed and the price displayed at the pump.
Why can petrol and diesel prices change by different amounts?
Petrol and high-speed diesel are priced using separate product-market inputs. The published calculation includes international benchmark prices, freight and premiums, exchange-rate data, import-related costs, inland transport margins and government levies. A movement in one product’s benchmark or cost components does not have to produce the same movement in the other.
Under the daily review arrangement, OGRA publishes revised ex-depot prices using the applicable international product benchmarks, premiums, exchange-rate inputs and other approved cost components. A daily review does not guarantee that prices will change every day; it means the notified rate can be reassessed more frequently as the pricing inputs change.
Does the latest rate mean fuel will become cheaper next week?
Not necessarily. The 5 November notice records the rates effective for that date; it is not a forecast. Future changes will depend on the pricing inputs and the next official notification. Drivers should check the effective date on the newest official notice rather than rely on an old screenshot or a forwarded message.
What do higher fuel costs mean for household budgets?
Fuel affects more than the amount paid at a petrol station. Diesel is used extensively in freight, agriculture-related transport and commercial activity, while petrol is a direct expense for many commuters and motorcyclists. The effect on food, transport fares and other prices depends on several factors, including inventories, competition and how quickly businesses pass on their costs.
