These reductions offset earlier price increases, influenced by softening international oil prices due to concerns over global trade and demand. Domestic LPG rates remain unchanged, while petrol and diesel prices are frozen.

The Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) price was reduced by Rs 3,954.38 per kilolitre, or 4.4 per cent, to Rs 85,486.80 per kl in the national capital - home to one of the busiest airports in the country, according to state-owned fuel retailers.

The price cut follows a steep 6.15 per cent (Rs 5,870.54 per kl) reduction effected on April 1. These two reductions have effectively offset the price increases that occurred earlier this year.

The reduction follows a Rs 41 per cylinder cut in rates effected on April 1. Live Events International oil prices have softened in the last couple of weeks as global trade war eroded the outlook for fuel demand.

Brent - the most quoted international benchmark - was trading below USD 61 per barrel - the lowest in over three years.

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 Rs 853 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

The price of the domestic LPG was hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder last month.

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.

While international oil prices have softened, domestic rates of petrol and diesel continue to remain frozen.

Rates were cut by Rs 2 per litre in mid-March last year, ahead of the general elections.

Petrol costs Rs 94.72 a litre in Delhi, while diesel is priced at Rs 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.
