From April 1, 2026, India's oil marketing companies (OMCs) raised aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices for domestic airlines to ₹1.05 lakh per kilolitre in New Delhi, marking an 8.5% increase from March. This decision comes amid a global surge in energy prices, driven by the ongoing conflict in West Asia. To cushion domestic travelers, the government allowed only a partial increase of 25% (₹15 per litre) to be passed on to airlines, while international routes will pay the full price, which has soared to $1,690.81 per kilolitre. Airlines welcomed this intervention as a necessary measure to ease cost pressures and maintain operational stability. IndiGo has adjusted its fuel surcharge structure from a flat rate to a distance-based system, reflecting the government's partial pass-through decision. Additionally, commercial LPG prices rose by ₹195.50, now costing ₹2,078.50 for a 19-kg cylinder in Delhi, while domestic LPG prices remain unchanged at ₹913 for a 14.2-kg cylinder. The government’s actions aim to stabilize the aviation sector amid significant fuel price volatility.
