Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices were raised by 5.4% on Monday (December 1, 2025), while commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) rates were cut by ₹10 per cylinder as state-owned oil companies announced their monthly price revision in line with global trends.
ATF prices in New Delhi has been increased by ₹5,133.75 per kilolitre (k.l.) to ₹99,676.77 per kilolitre (k.l.), marking the third consecutive monthly hike, according to State-owned fuel retailers.
Rates had risen by about 1% on November 1 and by 3.3% on October 1.
The latest increase is expected to add pressure on airlines, for which fuel accounts for nearly 40% of operating costs.
No immediate comments could be obtained from the airlines on the impact of the price change.
In Mumbai, ATF was revised to ₹93,281.04 per k.l., while prices in Chennai and Kolkata were raised to ₹1,03,301.80 and ₹1,02,371.02 per k.l., respectively.
Fuel prices vary across cities due to local taxes. Alongside, the price of a 19-k.g. commercial LPG cylinder used by hotels and restaurants was cut to ₹1,580.50 in New Delhi.
This is the second reduction in a row, offsetting the ₹15.50 increase implemented in October (rates had been cut by ₹5 per cylinder on November 1). Since April, six earlier cuts have reduced commercial LPG prices by a total of ₹223 per cylinder.
Domestic LPG prices remained unchanged at ₹853 per 14.2-k.g. cylinder in the capital, following a ₹50 hike in April.
Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise ATF and LPG prices on the first day of every month based on international benchmarks and the exchange rate.
Petrol and diesel prices continue to remain frozen after a ₹2 per-litre reduction in March 2024; petrol currently costs ₹94.72 per litre in Delhi and diesel ₹87.62.
