Jet fuel prices slashed by 5%

16 Jun 2012 Evaluate
Bringing cheer to the financially troubled airline industry, Delhi based oil marketing companies have slashed jet fuel prices from Friday Midnight by a good 5%, the steepest rate reduction since February 2010. The price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, in Delhi was reduced by 5%, to Rs 62,410 per kl from Rs 3,260 per kl. State-owned oil firms had been cutting prices since past three fortnights in the wake of decline in global crude prices.

In Mumbai, jet fuel will cost Rs 63,178 per kl from as against Rs 66,587.90 a kl now. Jet fuel constitutes over 40 per cent of an airline's operating cost and the reduction in prices will ease the burden of the cash-strapped airlines.

Indian Oil Corporation ,Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum revises jet fuel price on the 1st and 16th of every month, based on the average international price in the preceding fortnight.
