Petrol Price in Pakistan by City
The national ex-depot rate is uniform, but the pump price you pay differs slightly by city because of the Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM) — the cost of moving fuel from Karachi’s refineries to your city.
City rates above are estimated using typical IFEM differentials and may vary by a rupee or two from the exact OMC pump price in your area.
What Determines the Petrol Price in Pakistan?
- International crude oil prices — Pakistan imports nearly all its refined fuel, so global Brent/Platts Arab Gulf benchmarks feed directly into the local rate.
- PKR–USD exchange rate — a weaker rupee raises the landed cost of imported fuel even if the dollar price of oil doesn’t move.
- Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) — a fixed government levy per litre, set independently of OGRA’s price recommendation.
- Customs duty and taxes — additional fixed charges applied by the federal government.
- OMC and dealer margins — the regulated margin Oil Marketing Companies and petrol pump dealers earn per litre.
- Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM) — the transport cost component that makes the pump price differ slightly city to city.

How often does the petrol price in Pakistan change?
Under the current mechanism, petrol and diesel prices can be revised every working day (Monday to Friday), based on a rolling average of international oil benchmarks and the exchange rate. Rates stay unchanged over the weekend.
Who sets the petrol price in Pakistan?
OGRA (Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority) calculates and recommends the price based on international benchmarks; the Petroleum Division/federal government retains control over tax components like the Petroleum Development Levy and formally notifies the final rate.
Why does petrol price differ between cities in Pakistan?
The base ex-depot price is the same nationwide, but each city’s pump price includes the IFEM freight component, so cities farther from Karachi’s refineries and port — like Quetta or Gilgit-Baltistan — pay more per litre.
