Oil Marketing companies have raised prices of commercial LPG and aviation turbine fuel amid the global energy supply crisis.
The price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was hiked by Rs 195.5 on Wednesday. The price, which stood at Rs 1883, is now at Rs 2,078.50 on Wednesday, a 10 per cent increase. This is the second price hike in less than a month.
On March 1st, there was a hike of Rs 114.5 for the 19 kg cylinder. Domestic cooking gas prices, however, remain steady at Rs 913 for a 14.2 kg cylinder after a Rs 60 hike on March 1.
Despite a sharp rise in prices of crude oil globally, prices have remained steady and unchanged since a Rs 2 per litre cut in March 2025. Meanwhile, global oil prices have shot up by about 50 per cent.
Meanwhile, aviation fuel saw the biggest price hike after the war began. ATF for domestic airlines rose from ₹96,638.14 per kilolitre on March 1 to ₹207,341.22 per kilolitre in Delhi, in a 114.55% increase. Fro international airlines, ATF prices jumped 107% from $816.91 per kilolitre on March 1 in Delhi to $1,690.81 per kilolitre from April 1.
The petroleum ministry, meanwhile, has maintained that the country has sufficient stocks of ATF.
The LPG and ATF markets in India are run by state run oil marketing companies like the Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited.
Commercial LPG consumers in major cities in urban areas have been advised to begin using PNG to reduce dependency on LPGs.
