This is the first time ever that ATF prices have crossed the ₹2 lakh per kl mark. The previous peak was in 2022 when rates were hiked by ₹1.1 lakh per kl after oil prices surged after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The rates of commercial LPG — one that is used by hotels and restaurants — were hiked by ₹195.50 per 19-kg cylinder. Domestic cooking gas LPG rates, which were last hiked by ₹60 per 14.2-kg cylinder on March 7, remain unchanged.

State-owned 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.
