📈 Why Did Petrol Prices Rise in May 2026?
Pakistan’s petroleum prices are revised fortnightly by OGRA based on three key factors:
- International crude oil benchmarks — primarily Arab Light crude traded in global markets.
- USD/PKR exchange rate — a weaker rupee directly raises the import cost of petroleum products.
- Government levies — Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) and applicable General Sales Tax (GST) form a significant portion of the pump price.
The federal government approved OGRA’s recommendation and the revised rates took effect at midnight, May 9, 2026.
