Meanwhile, the price of jet fuel, or ATF, has also been reduced by 4.4 per cent – marking the second major cut within a month.
The Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) price was reduced by Rs 3,954.38 per kilolitre, or 4.4 per cent, to Rs 85,486.80 per kl in the national capital – home to one of the busiest airports in the country, according to state-owned fuel retailers.
The price cut follows a steep 6.15 per cent (Rs 5,870.54 per kl) reduction effected on April 1. These two reductions have effectively offset the price increases that occurred earlier this year.
The ATF price in Mumbai was cut to Rs 79,855.59 per kl from Rs 83,575.42, while those in Chennai and Kolkata were reduced to Rs 88,494.52 and Rs 88,237.05 per kl, respectively.
International oil prices have softened in the last couple of weeks as global trade war eroded the outlook for fuel demand. Brent – the most quoted international benchmark – was trading below USD 61 per barrel – the lowest in over three years.
Prices of ATF and LPG differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes, including VAT.
