Marking a third straight rise since the month of July, Jet fuel or aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices were hiked by over 3.2% to Rs 67,135.76 per kilolitre (kl) in Delhi. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, jet fuel will now cost Rs 68,103.26 per kl from today as against Rs 65,884.34 per kl previously. The rate hike, which comes right after a steep 4.5% hike in August 1, has erased all of the reduction in prices done in May and June, thereby adding to the cost burden of cash-strapped airlines, since Jet fuel constitutes over 40% of an airline's operating costs.
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and two other state-owned fuel retailers had on July 16 hiked rates by Rs 1,039.1 per kl and followed it up with Rs 2,797.41 per kl increase in price on August 1.Fuel retailers revise jet fuel prices on the 1st and 16th of every month, based on the average international price in the preceding fortnight.
Meanwhile, Jet fuel, which had hit an all-time high level of Rs 71,028.26 per kl in August 2008, shortly after international oil rates touched a record $147 per barrel, had fallen to eight-month low of Rs 61,169.08 per kl in early July.
