Commercial LPG prices hiked 10%, jet fuel rates up 9% for domestic airlines

State-run oil marketing firms hiked the price of commercial liquified petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders by more than 10% in major metro cities on Wednesday (April 1, 2026), while the price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) was more than doubled for international air travel and chartered flights. However, there was some respite for travellers flying within the country as ATF rates for scheduled domestic carriers were hiked by less than 9%.

IndiGo, which currently holds two-thirds of the domestic aviation market, responded by hiking its fuel surcharge up to ₹950 for domestic flights and ₹10,000 for international flights.
