ATF Price Cut

ATF price was cut by 4,495.5 per kilolitre, or 4.58 per cent, to 93,480.22 per kl in Delhi, PTI reported citing state-owned fuel retailers.

The price reduction will help ease the burden on airlines for whom fuel makes up for almost 40 per cent of the operating cost, it added.

The reduction follows two rounds of monthly price increases. Jet fuel prices were on August 1 raised by 2 per cent or 1,827.34 per kl and by 1.2 per cent ( 1,179.37 per kl). These hikes followed a steep 6.5 per cent ( 6,673.87 per kl) reduction effected on June 1.

The ATF rate in Mumbai was reduced to 87,432.78 per kl on September 1, from 91,650.34 previously.

Prices differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes.
