Oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Friday (May 1, 2026) sharply hiked the price of commercial LPG by ₹993 per cylinder and that of 5-kg free trade LPG by ₹261 per cylinder. Further, the price of bulk diesel was raised from ₹137 to ₹149 per litre.
Whilst the OMCs did not hike the price of LPG meant for domestic usage, and that of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) for domestic scheduled carriers, the price of ATF for international airlines has been pushed up by $76.55 per kilolitre from $1,435 per kilolitre.
