State-run Oil marketing companies raise commercial LPG, jet fuel prices
Effective 1 November, oil marketing companies have increased the price of a 19-kg commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder by ₹10 to ₹2,820. The price of aviation turbine fuel has also been raised by ₹1.37 per litre to ₹138.50.
India's state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) have increased the prices of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) due to high international crude oil prices stemming from the conflict in West Asia. As of November 1, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder will cost ₹2,820, up ₹10 from the previous price.
ATF prices have also been raised by ₹1.37 per litre, now standing at ₹138.50 per litre. These increases come as demand for commercial LPG typically rises during the festive season, with restaurants, hotels, catering businesses, and food outlets bearing the brunt. Domestic LPG prices remain unchanged at ₹942 for a 14.2-kg cylinder, while petrol and diesel prices are also unchanged.
This is the third consecutive monthly increase in commercial LPG prices, following ₹9.50, ₹62.50, and ₹183.50 hikes in September, October, and July, respectively. The latest hike follows two consecutive reductions in July and August. The ATF price increase marks the fourth consecutive monthly rise, following hikes of ₹5, ₹6.28, and ₹16 in August, September, and October.
The higher prices reflect movements in international benchmark prices and the rupee-dollar exchange rate, with commercial LPG and ATF prices reviewed on the first day of each month and varying across states due to local taxes.
