Petrol Prices in Pakistan Today
Three prices affect almost every household in Pakistan: petrol, the dollar, and gold. Petrol decides the cost of travel, the dollar affects the price of imported goods, and gold matters for savings and family occasions such as weddings. That is why people check these rates every day. This article gives the latest verified rates and explains, in simple words, why they keep changing.
Petrol and diesel prices
According to the OGRA notification effective from 31 Oct to 2 Nov 2026, the price of petrol is Rs 377.91 per litre and the price of high-speed diesel is Rs 402.96 per litre. These rates apply only for this period. The government revises fuel prices regularly, so the next notification may bring different rates. It is always wise to check the latest rate before going to a petrol pump.
Dollar rate
On 30–31 Oct 2026, the dollar traded at around Rs 276.78 to Rs 277.80 in the open market. The open-market rate can differ slightly from the bank rate, because buying and selling conditions in the market change all the time. For people who order goods from abroad or send money to family, the dollar rate is the most important number of the day.
Gold rate
On 30 Oct 2026, the rate of 24-karat gold was around Rs 420,536 to Rs 421,097 per tola, according to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association (APGJSA) as reported by ARY News. Gold is linked to the world market, so its price moves up and down every day. Before buying from a jeweller, always ask for that day's fresh rate.
Why do these prices change every day?
Petrol prices are linked to the price of crude oil in the world market and to the strength of the dollar. When crude oil becomes expensive internationally, or the dollar grows stronger, petrol also becomes expensive in Pakistan. The dollar rate itself depends on the country's economy, imports, exports, and market demand. Gold prices follow the international market and the dollar too — when there is uncertainty in the world, more people buy gold and its price rises.
Important note
These rates are from the 31 Oct 2026 update and change daily. Always check the fresh rate on the day before making any purchase, trip, or transaction. Do not treat the rates on this page as permanent.
