ATF and Commercial LPG Prices Rise, Impacting Airline Costs and Businesses
Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices for domestic airlines were increased by 5.46%, rising Rs 6.28 per litre to Rs 121.28, marking the second consecutive monthly hike. This increase adds to airlines' operating costs, as ATF accounts for 35-40% of expenses, potentially affecting airfares. Commercial LPG prices for 19-kg cylinders used by businesses also rose by Rs 9.50, while domestic LPG prices remained unchanged. The revisions reflect changes in international benchmarks amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
