Oil marketing companies raised prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders by Rs 195.50 in Delhi (now Rs 2,078.50) and Rs 218 in Kolkata, with 5 kg FTL cylinders up Rs 51 nationwide. Domestic 14.2 kg cylinders remain unchanged at Rs 913 in Delhi.
ATF Rates Surge in Metros
Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices climbed sharply: Delhi Rs 2,07,341/kL, Mumbai Rs 1,94,969/kL, Chennai Rs 2,14,598/kL, Kolkata Rs 2,05,953/kL. International ATF doubled to Rs 1,690/kL from global crude trends.
Factors Driving Increases
Hikes track rising international crude oil, West Asia tensions, and refining spreads, despite recent petrol/diesel excise cuts. Commercial LPG last adjusted March 7; frequent revisions reflect market volatility.
