Commercial LPG cylinder prices cut by Rs 192, ATF rates raised by Rs 5 per litre

Prices of commercial LPG cylinders used by hotels and restaurants were cut by Rs 192 on Saturday, while aviation turbine fuel (ATF) rates were increased by Rs 5 per litre, following changes in international benchmark rates.

A 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi will now cost Rs 2,738, down from Rs 2,930, according to price data from state-owned oil companies. ATF prices have been raised to Rs 115 per litre from Rs 110.

The LPG reduction follows a cut of Rs 183.5 on July 1, marking the second consecutive monthly decline. The latest ATF revision reverses the reduction made last month.

Commercial LPG prices had surged by Rs 1,373 per cylinder between February and June following the West Asia crisis, rising from Rs 1,740.50 to Rs 3,113.50.

Prices of 5-kg market-priced LPG cylinders were also reduced to Rs 762 from Rs 808.50.

Domestic LPG prices for household cooking remain unchanged at Rs 942 per 14.2-kg cylinder. Rates are revised monthly based on international prices and currency movements, with variations across states due to local taxes.

Petrol and diesel prices also remained unchanged after being increased by around Rs 7.50 per litre each in May.
