New Delhi: Price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, was reduced by 7.3 per cent on Thursday, while commercial LPG rate was raised by ₹111 per cylinder, as state-owned oil marketing companies implemented their monthly price revisions aligned with global fuel benchmarks.
ATF price in Delhi was cut by ₹7,353.75 per kilolitre, or 7.3 per cent,to ₹92,323.02 per kl, according to state-owned fuel retailers.
Commercial LPG rates were hiked by ₹111 per 19-kg cylinder in line with global benchmarks. On the increase in price of commercial LPG cylinders, a statement issued by the Oil Ministry said the price of commercial LPG cylinders is market-determined and linked to international benchmarks. “Accordingly, revisions in commercial LPG prices reflect movements in global LPG prices and associated costs. The prices of domestic LPG remain unchanged,” it added.
India imports about 60 per cent of its LPG requirement, and domestic LPG prices are therefore linked to international prices, with Saudi CP serving as the international benchmark.
While the average Saudi CP rose by about 21 per cent from $385 per tonne in July 2023 to $466 per tonne in November 2025, the price of domestic LPG was reduced by about 22 per cent during the same period, from ₹1,103 in August 2023 to ₹853 in November 2025, the statement said. It added that to protect domestic consumers, the effective price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder, which costs around ₹950, is available at ₹853 for non-PMUY domestic consumers in Delhi and ₹553 for PMUY beneficiaries.
“This reflects a reduction of about 39 per cent in the effective price for PMUY consumers, from ₹903 in August 2023 to ₹553 in November 2025, underscoring the government’s focused support to ensure sustained use of clean cooking fuel. There is no change in this pricing,” it said.
The number of commercial LPG cylinder users is significantly lower, at around 30 lakh, compared to over 33 crore domestic LPG consumers. Commercial LPG is primarily used by large establishments, such as hotels, restaurants, and other big commercial enterprises.
The reduction in ATF prices came after three rounds of monthly price hikes. The rate was last raised by ₹5,133.75 per kl, or 5.4 per cent, on December 1. Prior to that, prices had risen by about 1 per cent on November 1 and 3.3 per cent on October 1. The cut announced on Thursday neutralises more than two-thirds of the price increase that happened since October 1.
The latest reduction is expected to ease pressure on airlines, for which fuel accounts for nearly 40 per cent of operating costs.
No immediate comments could be obtained from the airlines.
