ATF prices cut for international airlines, commercial LPG prices up by Rs 42

The price cut for aviation turbine fuel (ATF) by public sector oil companies is a much-needed relief for both airlines and passengers, especially for international flights, as it lowers costs by nearly 27%. However, this comes at a time when commercial LPG cylinder prices have gone up by Rs 42, reflecting the impact of rising global energy costs and supply chain disruptions from West Asia. This shift highlights the complex interplay between global economic factors and domestic fuel pricing, underscoring the challenges faced by industries reliant on imported energy sources.
