KARACHI – Pakistan decided to keep existing prices of petrol and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) for August 11, denying consumers the fuel-price relief that had been widely expected amid recent developments in international oil markets.
Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has formally confirmed that petrol will remain at Rs. 327.62 per liter, while High-Speed Diesel will continue to be sold at Rs. 380.86 per liter. The decision means motorists will continue paying the same rates at fuel stations, despite expectations that the latest petroleum price review could bring a reduction. No increase has been announced either, leaving both major petroleum products at their existing prices.

The announcement comes as global crude prices moved higher on Monday, with growing concerns over the future of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for international energy shipments. Any prolonged disruption to the waterway could have significant implications for global oil supplies and prices.
Brent crude futures for October delivery rose 1.09% to $84.46 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for September delivery gained 0.84% to $78.84 per barrel.
The latest rise in oil prices followed comments by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said Tehran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States meets a number of Iranian demands. These include easing sanctions and providing compensation for damages resulting from the war.
Tehran is not currently engaged in direct talks with Washington, contradicting US statements suggesting that negotiations could be close to producing an agreement.
International crude prices are direct component in petroleum prices in Pakistan. The government also considers movements in the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar and other costs linked to the import and supply of petroleum products when reviewing domestic fuel rates.
