Domestic ATF, Petrol, Diesel, and LPG Prices Steady; International and Commercial Rates Rise

State-owned oil companies have kept aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices unchanged for domestic airlines and maintained steady retail prices for petrol, diesel, and domestic LPG cylinders to shield consumers from global fuel price volatility. However, ATF prices for international carriers and commercial LPG cylinder rates have increased, reflecting global market trends. About 80% of petroleum products saw no price change, while select industrial fuels experienced adjustments. The government and oil firms aim to balance global price shifts with domestic economic stability.
