The price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, for international airlines was increased by about 5 per cent on Friday, marking the second consecutive monthly hike as oil companies passed on rising global energy costs in a calibrated manner.
There has been no change in ATF prices for domestic airlines.
ATF rates for international carriers were increased by USD 76.55 per kilolitre (kl), or 5.33 per cent, to USD 1,511.86 per kl in Delhi, home to India's busiest airport, according to state-owned oil companies.
The hike follows a sharp revision on April 1, when ATF prices for domestic airlines were increased by 25 per cent to Rs 1,04,927.18 per kl.
Jet fuel prices were deregulated over two decades ago and are aligned with benchmark international rates under a pricing arrangement with airlines.
However, amid the surge in global energy prices triggered by the West Asia crisis, the government and state-run oil firms have adopted a calibrated approach, industry sources told news agency PTI.
While foreign airlines are being charged market-linked rates, prices for domestic carriers have been moderated to cushion the impact, they added.
The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has been hiked by Rs 993 with effect from May 1, taking the cost to Rs 3,071.50 in Delhi. In Mumbai, the price now stands at Rs 3,024, while in Kolkata it has risen to Rs 3,202.
There has been no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders, benefiting around 33 crore household consumers, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) said in a statement.
This is the third increase in commercial LPG prices since February 28, when tensions escalated due to the West Asia conflict. Prices were first raised by about Rs 115 in early March, followed by an increase of nearly Rs 200 on April 1.
The price of a 5-kg free trade LPG (FTL) commercial cylinder has also been increased by Rs 261.
IOC said petrol and diesel prices continue to remain unchanged despite elevated global energy prices, adding that there has been no revision in fuels that directly impact the general public.
