Overview
- State oil marketing companies implemented increases effective Tuesday, Sept. 1, raising aviation turbine fuel (ATF) by Rs 6.28 per litre to Rs 121.28 and 19‑kg commercial LPG by about Rs 9.50 per cylinder.
- City gas distributors enacted coordinated hikes that took effect on Sept. 1 or in the 48 hours before it, with Mahanagar Gas raising Mumbai CNG by Rs 2/kg to Rs 88 and PNG by Re 1/SCM, IGL increasing Delhi CNG by Rs 3.89/kg to Rs 86.98, and MNGL adding Rs 2/kg in Pune.
- Pakistan’s Petroleum Division officially fixed petrol at Rs 342.79 per litre and cut high‑speed diesel to Rs 370.41 per litre for Sept. 1 under its daily pricing system.
- Unaudited Central Energy Fund month‑end figures point to likely South African petrol and diesel rises from Sept. 2, but the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources had not yet issued the formal confirmation.
- The moves reflect import dependence and distinct national pricing rules that pass international benchmark changes quickly to users, raising costs for airlines and commercial LPG users while domestic household LPG prices in India remain unchanged.
