Only in India is ATF cheaper than petrol: Ram Naik

Mumbai: Former Petroleum Minister Ram Naik has flayed the UPA government lowering prices of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), saying India is the only country where ATF is cheaper than petrol.
"This is the eighth wonder of the world. In no other country will you find that ATF is cheaper than petrol", Naik said here today.
The senior BJP leader has put up hoardings decrying the government over the move in the North Mumbai Lok Sabha constituency, where he lost to Bollywood actor Govinda in the 2004 elections.
"ATF is sold at Rs 40 per litre to the airlines, whereas petrol which is consumed by the common man, the mobike riders, taxi and autorickshaw users costs Rs 57 per litre," he said.
