      <title>Govt raises petrol price by Rs5.44, diesel by Rs31/litre</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The federal government on Friday announced an increase in the prices of petroleum products for three days, raising the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs31.05 per litre and petrol by Rs5.44 per litre.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division), the revised ex-depot prices will remain effective from July 18 to July 20, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the revised rates, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has been increased from Rs323.30 per litre to Rs354.35 per litre, reflecting an increase of Rs31.05 per litre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the price of motor spirit (petrol) has been raised from Rs310.71 per litre to Rs316.15 per litre, up by Rs5.44 per litre.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Petroleum Division said the revised ex-depot prices would apply for the three days from July 18 through July 20.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest adjustment comes just a week after the government increased petrol and diesel prices by more than Rs13 per litre for the July 11-17 period, as international oil prices climbed amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan previously reviewed petroleum product prices every week. However, Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik announced today that the fuel prices will now be reviewed on a daily basis amid skyrocketing oil prices in the global market.&lt;/p&gt;
