Commercial LPG price up 47.8%; ATF cost raised for foreign airlines

Commercial LPG prices have increased by 47.8% to 3,071.50 per 19 kg cylinder from 2,078.50. The price hike is due to high international energy prices amid the West Asia crisis. State-run oil marketing companies have also raised aviation turbine fuel prices for foreign airlines by about $76.55 per kilolitre to $1,511.86. The prices of regular petrol and diesel, and domestic LPG for common people remain unchanged.
