ATF Fuel Prices Hiked by Rs 3,400 per kl

New Delhi: State-owned oil firms today hiked jet fuel prices by nine per cent to over Rs 39,000 per kilolitre following a spurt in international oil rates.
Aviation Turbine Fuel prices will be increased by an average of Rs 3,400 per kilolitre effective midnight tonight, an official of the Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation's largest oil firm, said.
IOC, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum had for three consecutive fortnights reduced ATF rates mostly because international oil prices had eased and rupee strengthened against US dollar.
In three cuts, jet fuel prices in Delhi came down to Rs 36,188.27 per kl from Rs 39,188 at the beginning of September.
The hike announced today would negate all the cuts and ATF prices would be back to their September levels.
The official said the new rates at the four metros were being worked out and will be announced later.
