In a mixed update for fuel consumers, oil marketing companies have reduced the price of commercial LPG cylinders but increased aviation turbine fuel (ATF) rates effective August 1, 2025.
Key Highlights:
Commercial LPG price cut by Rs33.50 per 19-kg cylinder
New Price in Delhi: Rs1,631.50
This marks the fifth consecutive monthly reduction.
In July, prices were reduced by Rs58.50.
Domestic LPG price unchanged
A 14.2-kg household cylinder remains at Rs853.
ATF sees a 3% hike
Increased by Rs2,677.88 per kilolitre.
New ATF price in Delhi: Rs92,021.93/kl
This follows a 7.5% increase in July, attributed to rising global oil prices amid geopolitical tensions.
What This Means:
Relief for businesses like restaurants and hotels using commercial LPG.
Air travel costs may rise as airlines adjust to higher fuel expenses.
Oil pricing remains sensitive to global energy trends, and experts say further volatility could be expected depending on the trajectory of international crude and trade dynamics.
