September Fuel Shock: Jet Fuel Jumps 5.46%, Commercial LPG Gets Costlier; CNG, PNG Rates Rise in Mumbai

Jet fuel rose 5.46% and a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder increased by Rs 9.50 as higher input costs lifted energy prices.

  • State-Owned oil marketing companies increased Aviation Turbine Fuel prices by Rs 6.28 per litre on Tuesday, raising rates to Rs 121.28 per litre from Rs 115, Indian Oil Corporation sources confirmed to ANI.
  • Aviation fuel rates have risen sharply since the Middle East conflict escalated in early 2026, following a Rs 5 per litre increase that marks the second consecutive month of hikes.
  • With ATF accounting for about 35-40 per cent of an airline's overall operating expenditure in India, the latest adjustment represents a jump of 5.46 per cent, significantly impacting carrier costs.
  • Higher ATF prices are expected to increase operating costs for airlines, which can eventually lead to higher airfares, though ticket prices remain influenced by passenger demand and competition.
  • Earlier in 2026, ATF prices were reduced by Rs 5 per litre, but this month marks the second consecutive increase, reversing that previous relief for domestic carriers.
