OMC sales jumps 7% MoM in September 2026

October 02, 2026 (MLN): Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in Pakistan recorded a 7% month-on-month (MoM) increase in September 2026, with total offtake rising to 1.35 million tons (mt) from 1.26mt in August.

On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, volumes slipped 2% from 1.37mt in September 2025.

Cumulative 1QFY27 volumes reached 4.11mt, up 6% from 3.89mt in the same period last year, according to data compiled by Arif Habib Limited (AHL) from the Oil Companies Advisory Council (OCAC).

The YoY contraction is attributed to higher fuel prices, which weighed on Motor Spirit (MS) and High Speed Diesel (HSD) demand.
