ATF Prices Rise 5.46% and Commercial LPG Rates Increase from September 1
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 about 35-40% of expenses, potentially affecting airfares. Commercial LPG prices for establishments like hotels and restaurants also rose by Rs 9.50 per 19-kg cylinder, while domestic LPG prices remained unchanged. These adjustments reflect changes in international benchmarks amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
