Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) price in the national Capital was on Monday hiked by a steep 56.5 per cent, or Rs 12,126.75 per kilolitre (kl), to Rs 33,575.37 a kl (from Rs 21,448.62 a kl in May) and that of non-subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (cooking gas or LPG) by Rs 11.5 to Rs 593 per 14.2 kilogram cylinder on the back of firming up of international oil rates.
But petrol and diesel prices continued to remain on freeze for a record 78th day.
While oil public sector undertakings have regularly revised ATF and LPG prices, they have since March 16 kept petrol and diesel prices on hold, ostensibly on account of extreme volatility in the international oil markets.
