This is the second straight monthly increase in jet fuel prices.

Rates were increased by ₹2,941.5 per kl (3.3 per cent) on November 1. That hike came after two rounds of reduction which had taken the rates to their lowest level this year.

ATF price on October 1 was cut by 6.3 per cent (₹5,883 per kl) and by ₹4,495.5 per kl, or 4.58 per cent on September 1.

The ATF price in Mumbai was increased to ₹85,861.02 per kl on Sunday from ₹84,642.91 previously.

Oil firms also increased the price of commercial LPG by ₹16.5 to ₹1818.

50 per 19-kg cylinder.

This is the fifth straight monthly hike in commercial LPG price.

Rates were hiked by ₹62 per 19-kg cylinder at the last revision on November 1.

In five price increases, commercial LPG rates have hiked by ₹172.5 per 19-kg cylinder.

Rates are now at their highest level in one year.

The increases negated the four monthly reductions prior to the current cycle that started in August.

In the four rounds, prices had been cut by ₹148 per 19-kg cylinder.

Commercial LPG now costs ₹1771 per 19-kg cylinder in Mumbai, ₹1,927 in Kolkata and ₹1,980 in Chennai.

Prices of ATF and LPG differ from State to State depending on the incidence of local taxes including VAT.

The rate of cooking gas used in domestic households, however, remained unchanged at ₹803 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise prices of ATF and cooking gas on the first of every month based on the average price of benchmark international fuel and foreign exchange rate.

Prices of petrol and diesel continue to remain frozen.

Rates had been cut by ₹2 per litre in mid-March ahead of the general elections.

Petrol costs ₹94.72 a litre in Delhi while diesel is priced at ₹87.62.

Petrol, Diesel Rates May Ease As Cheaper Crude Arrives: What Hardeep Puri’s Signal Means For India

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says petrol and diesel rates in India may ease once recently bought cheaper crude reaches refiners, after global oil prices cooled and Brent slipped below $80 a barrel. The signal matters because India imports most of its crude, so any sustained fall can filter through to motorists, freight users and inflation. But the relief is unlikely to be immediate, because fuel prices depend on inventory cycles, logistics and how quickly oil companies pass on lower input costs.
