ISLAMABAD, June 13, 2026 — There’s a bit of relief at the pumps this week. The government has cut petrol and diesel prices in the latest fortnightly review, giving transporters and daily commuters a small break after months of volatility.
According to the official notification from the Finance Division, petrol has been reduced by Rs 4 per litre, bringing the new price to Rs 373.78 per litre. High-speed diesel dropped by Rs 2 per litre and will now sell at Rs 378.78 per litre. The revised rates took effect from midnight on June 13, 2026.
Officials said the cut was based on falling international oil prices and changes in import parity calculations. For people in Peshawar, Mansehra, and other cities, that means a motorcycle tank that cost Rs 3,780 last week will now cost around Rs 3,740.
A bumpy few months
This small reduction comes after a rough ride. Back in early April, petrol hit a record Rs 458.40 per litre and diesel touched Rs 520.35 after global prices spiked due to Middle East tensions. The government had even announced targeted subsidies then – Rs 100 per litre for bikers and farmers.
Since May, prices have been slowly sliding down. On June 6, petrol was Rs 377.78 and diesel was Rs 380.78. This week’s cut is the second reduction in a row, though it’s nowhere near enough to undo April’s massive hike.
Why it matters
Petrol affects your bike and car, but diesel hits everyone. Trucks, buses, tractors, and tube wells all run on diesel. When diesel goes up, freight charges and vegetable prices usually follow. So even a Rs 2 cut gives some comfort to farmers and transporters who’ve been under pressure all year.
Final thought
Rs 4 and Rs 2 don’t sound like much, and honestly, they aren’t. If you’re filling a 60-litre car tank, you’ll save about Rs 240 this week. Not life-changing money. Fact is that the government increase the much price and decrease in 1/3/4/5 rupees its not a big news for the Pakistani peoples because when you increse in hundreds and decrease in a lot of rupees its not an a big happiness news for the peoples. If the government announce a big drop news for the public then will impact on the public life and the daily use products prices will decrease and the the public will happy.
But the direction matters. After the shock of April’s 43% petrol hike, two back-to-back cuts suggest global oil markets are cooling off a bit. For now, families can budget a little easier, and transporters can breathe for 15 days until the next review on June 28.
If you’ve been putting off that trip to Mansehra, this is probably the cheapest week to do it for a while. Prices change every two weeks, and with the Middle East still tense, next time could go either way. Fill up, but don’t get too comfortable.
