Commercial LPG Cylinder Price Rises By Rs 9.50, Non-Domestic Cylinder Also Gets Costlier

Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices on Tuesday were hiked by 5.46 per cent, while the price of commercial LPG, used by establishments such as hotels and restaurants, was raised by ₹9.50 per 19-kg cylinder, in line with a rise in their international benchmarks.

The price of Jet fuel or ATF has been raised by ₹6.28 per litre, or 5.46 per cent, to ₹121.28 per litre for domestic airlines, according to state-owned oil firms.

The increase comes on the back of a ₹5 a litre rise in rates on August 1.

The two increases will add to the financial burden of airlines, for whom ATF makes up to 40 per cent of operating costs.
