Jet fuel price hiked by 2.75%, LPG cut for 1st time since Oct

Halting a declining trend of last month, jet fuel or ATF price has been hiked by 2.75 per cent on firming international oil prices, while cooking gas LPG rate has seen the first decline since October. Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) price has been hiked by `2,039.63 per kilolitre, or 2.75 per cent, to `76,062.04 per kl in the national Capital, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.

The increase in rates comes on back of two rounds of price cuts seen in December that reflected a drop in international oil prices during the second half of November and mid-December.

Thereafter, international rates have firmed up, leading to the hike in ATF price.
