India raises liquified petroleum gas, jet fuel prices

India has raised the prices of commercial liquified petroleum gas and jet fuel for international airlines, AFP reports, citing a state-run energy firm, as supply pressures from the war mount.

“Prices of bulk and commercial LPG cylinders have been revised,” the state-run Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), the country’s leading energy marketing company, says.

IOCL’s price chart shows an increase of 993 rupees in the price of a 19-kilogramme LPG cylinder meant for commercial use. That amounts to a nearly 48 per cent rise in the capital New Delhi. Local levies mean rates vary across cities.

The oil company said that the price of jet fuel for international airline operations has also “been adjusted upward”.

Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) has gone up by around five per cent in Delhi, according to IOCL’s catalogue.
