Aviation Fuel and Commercial LPG Prices Rise; Domestic LPG, Petrol, Diesel Unchanged
From October 1, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices for domestic airlines increased by Rs 16 per litre to Rs 137, following earlier hikes in August and September. Commercial LPG prices rose by Rs 62.50 per 19-kg cylinder after recent fluctuations, while domestic LPG, petrol, and diesel prices remained unchanged. These adjustments reflect changes in international benchmark prices and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. ATF accounts for up to 40% of airline operating costs, making these increases significant for carriers.
