Rates of commercial LPG - cooking gas used in hotels and restaurants - were hiked by ₹10 per 19-kg cylinder to ₹2,820, according to the oil companies
Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices rose by ₹1.37 per litre from Sunday, and commercial LPG rates increased by ₹10 per 19-kg cylinder in step with firming international benchmarks, according to state-owned oil firms.
ATF prices were increased to ₹138.50 per litre from ₹137.12 per litre.
This is the fourth straight monthly increase in jet fuel (ATF) prices, necessitated by firming rates of international benchmarks.
Prices were last raised by a steep ₹16 a litre on October 1. Prior to that, ATF prices were hiked by ₹6.28 per litre on September 1 and by ₹5 a litre on August 1. Jet fuel accounts for up to 40 per cent of the operating cost of airlines, and the price hike will further push up carrier expenditure.
