Patang Price in Pakistan - The 2026 Basant Rate List
If you are heading to the markets, you’ve likely noticed that the patang price in pakistan has reached record highs this year. Between the "Kite Mafia" hoarding stock and the high cost of imported paper, the common man is struggling to afford even a basic Gudda.
With the 2026 SOPs and regulations being the strictest in Pakistan's history, using the wrong kite size won't just lose you a "Paicha"; it could land you in legal trouble.
Approved Patang Size
As per 2026 -government provided- kite SOPs and regulations, a 'Patang' must not exceed 35 inches in width and 30 inches in length. Any patang above this size could land you in legal trouble.
Current Market Prices in Lahore (February 2026)
Due to the massive demand and the return of the festival after 20 years, prices at Mochi Gate and other parts of Lahore are fluctuating daily.
- Note: Always look for the Official QR Code on the Pinna. Every legal roll must have a trackable code that links back to the registered manufacturer.
Price Update: 5th Feb 2026 – Lahore
| Patang Type | Size (Max Width) | Legal Status | Estimated Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Choti Patang (3.5 Githi) | 24" - 28" | Allowed | Rs. 8,000 - 10,500 (12 pcs) |
| Standard Patang (4 Githi) | 30" | Allowed | Rs. 13,000 - 18,000 (12 pcs) |
| Large Patang (4.5 Githi) | 35" (Limit) | Allowed | Rs. 18,000 - 25,000 (12 pcs) |
Why are Patang prices so high?
It’s a mix of Seller Greed and Supply Chain Issues. Because only a few districts and suppliers are authorized to manufacture, the supply can't keep up with the "Basant Storm" demand in Lahore. This has allowed a handful of big dealers to control the market.
Always check for the mandatory QR Code sticker. If a shopkeeper is charging a premium "Mafia Price" but the kite has no QR code, it is illegal stock—don't risk your money or your safety!
