Relief for airlines

The price cut is expected to ease cost pressures on airlines, for whom fuel accounts for nearly 40 per cent of total operating expenses. Airlines did not immediately comment on the impact of the revision.

City-wise ATF rates

ATF prices were also revised downward in other metro cities. In Mumbai, the new rate is ₹86,352.19 per kl. Chennai and Kolkata recorded revised prices of ₹95,770 per kl and ₹95,378.02 per kl, respectively. Rates vary across cities due to differences in local taxes.

Commercial LPG prices increased

Alongside the ATF revision, oil companies increased the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder by ₹111. In Delhi, the cylinder now costs ₹1,691.50.

Highest level since June

The hike comes after two months of reductions in commercial LPG prices. With the latest increase, rates have reached their highest level since June last year.

Domestic LPG unchanged

Prices of domestic LPG used for household cooking were left unchanged at ₹853 per 14.2-kg cylinder. The last revision was a ₹50 hike in April 2025.
