Jet Fuel and Commercial LPG Prices Rise on September 1
Jet fuel became more expensive for airlines from September 1.
Its price rose to ₹121.28 per litre.
Fuel can account for up to 40% of an airline’s operating costs, so airlines may face higher expenses.
Commercial cooking gas also became costlier for businesses such as hotels and restaurants.
A 19-kg cylinder rose by ₹9.50, while a 5-kg cylinder rose by ₹2.
In Mumbai, CNG and household piped gas prices also increased.
The cooking gas used in homes did not become more expensive.
Petrol and diesel prices stayed the same.
These prices are changed each month based partly on international prices and currency exchange rates.
ATF prices rose 5.46%, or ₹6.28 per litre, to ₹121.28 for domestic airlines.
Commercial LPG increased ₹9.50 to ₹2,747.50 per 19-kg cylinder, while 5-kg cylinders rose to ₹764.
Mumbai CNG rose ₹2 per kg to ₹88, and domestic PNG increased ₹1 per standard cubic metre.
Household LPG remained ₹942 per 14.2-kg cylinder, while petrol and diesel prices were unchanged.
ATF and LPG prices are revised monthly using international benchmarks, foreign exchange rates and local taxes.
