The government announced a 5.46% hike in automotive turbine fuel (ATF) and a ₹9.50 increase in the price of a 19‑kg commercial LPG cylinder, according to Business Standard.
New price data released by the authorities show that automotive turbine fuel (ATF) will now cost 5.46% more than its previous level. The revision was reported by Business Standard and applies to all commercial users of the fuel across the country.
In parallel, the tariff for a 19‑kilogram commercial LPG cylinder has been raised by ₹9.50 per unit. The increase affects businesses that rely on LPG for cooking, heating and small‑scale industrial processes.
Industry analysts note that the ATF hike could raise operating costs for transport fleets and generators, while the modest LPG rise is likely to be absorbed by end‑users with minimal impact on overall expenses. Both adjustments are part of the periodic price review mechanism aimed at reflecting changes in international crude and domestic demand.
Stakeholders are expected to adjust their budgets accordingly as the new rates come into force, although the exact implementation date was not disclosed in the brief report.
