The price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, was more than doubled to a record ₹2.07 lakh per kilolitre on Wednesday (April 1, 2026), while commercial LPG rates were raised by ₹195.50 per cylinder, mirroring the surge in global oil prices linked to the widening West Asia conflict.

The ATF price in Delhi was hiked by ₹1,10,703.08 per kilolitre, or 114.5%, to ₹2,07,341.22 per kl, according to state-owned fuel retailers.

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.
