Petrol & Diesel Rate in Pakistan (12 September 2026): Fifth Consecutive Hike

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced another increase in fuel prices under the newly implemented daily petroleum pricing mechanism. For Saturday, 12 September 2026, the rates for both petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) have seen an upward revision, impacting consumers across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and nationwide.

Current Fuel Prices in Pakistan (Effective Sept 12–14, 2026)

Fuel Type	Old Price (Rs/Litre)	Increase (Rs/Litre)	New Price (Rs/Litre)
Petrol (Motor Spirit)	370.80	+ 5.02	375.82
High-Speed Diesel (HSD)	398.04	+ 5.28	403.32

Why Are Prices Rising?

This latest revision marks the fifth straight hike in petroleum prices over the past five days.

Total 5-Day Increase: Since the beginning of the week, petrol has surged by a cumulative Rs 29.95 per litre, while diesel has jumped by Rs 25.27 per litre.
Daily Pricing Mechanism: In July 2026, the federal government authorized OGRA to determine and publish fuel prices daily rather than fortnightly. Prices are now adjusted every 24 hours based on the seven-day average of Platts international benchmark prices.
Global Market Impact: The continued upward trend is a direct reflection of surging international crude oil markets affecting Pakistan's import costs.

These rates will remain effective until Monday, 14 September 2026.

AI Chip Shortage 2026: Why Memory Demand Is Surging Again

AI Chip Shortage 2026: Why Memory Demand Is Surging Again Artificial intelligence is changing more than the way people search, work and create content. It is also reshaping the semiconductor industry — and in 2026, memory chips have become one of the most important pressure points in the AI hardware supply chain . The latest developments from Micron Technology have put that issue back in the spotlight. The company said on September 30 that customers had increased commitments under long-term supply agreements to $32 billion , up from $22 billion in June. Micron also said memory and storage supply-demand conditions could become tighter in fiscal 2027 and 2028. So, is there really an AI chip shortage in 2026 ? The answer is more complicated than a simple yes or no. The biggest pressure is concentrated in particular types of memory — especially high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced DRAM used in AI servers — rather than every semiconductor product being equally difficult to obtain...

The 8GB Immortal: Is the RX 590 Still Worth It in 2026?

The AMD Radeon RX 590 is the "undead" champion of the Polaris era. Released in late 2018 as a 12nm "last hurrah" for the architecture, it was essentially a factory-overclocked RX 580 on steroids. Now that we are in 2026 , the RX 590 has transitioned from a mid-range workhorse to a legendary budget relic. If you’re still rocking one—or considering picking up a used "Fatboy" for a ultra-budget build—here is how it stands in the current landscape. Performance: The 1080p Reality Check In 2026, the RX 590 is no longer the 1440p contender it once claimed to be. However, its 8GB of VRAM has aged like fine wine, keeping it relevant while many of its 4GB and 6GB contemporaries (like the GTX 1060 or 1660) have fallen into obsolescence.
