New Delhi: Jet fuel or Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) price was on Wednesday hiked by 2.6 percent and that of non-subsidised cooking gas LPG by Rs 19 per cylinder on the back of a rise in international rates.
Price of ATF, used to power aeroplanes, was raised by Rs 1,637.25 per kilolitre (kl), or 2.6 per cent, to Rs 64,323.76 per kl in Delhi, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
This is the second straight monthly increase in rates warranted due to firming up of prices in the international market.
In India, which is dependent on imports to meet 84 per cent of its oil needs, prices of domestic fuels are at par with benchmark international prices. ATF price was on December 1 increased by a marginal Rs 13.88 per kl.
