ATF Price Raised Five Point Four Six Per Cent; Commercial LPG Up Rs Nine Point Five Zero

Oil marketing companies raised Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) by five point four six per cent and increased commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders by Rs nine point five zero per cylinder. The revisions were announced as part of the latest routine pricing cycle by fuel retailers and take effect immediately at retail outlets. The moves follow adjustments to input costs that distributors factor into consumer rates so that downstream prices reflect prevailing cost structures.

The ATF increase will raise operating costs for airlines and will feed through into higher air transportation charges for passengers and for air freight services. Carriers will absorb some immediate impact but will pass through additional costs in schedules and cargo tariffs over subsequent billing cycles. Airports and ground handling firms are also likely to record higher fuel-linked expenditure as a direct consequence of the revision.

Commercial LPG users such as restaurants, hotels and small manufacturers will face higher fuel bills because each commercial cylinder has risen by Rs nine point five zero. The revision targets commercial rather than household cylinders and sits alongside separate schemes and subsidies that govern domestic cooking fuel pricing. Businesses that rely on LPG for process heat or cooking will need to factor the increased outgo into operating budgets and menu or service pricing where relevant.

Price revisions of this kind are part of periodic reviews that align retail rates with international energy benchmarks, changes in refining and distribution costs, and tax and margin structures applied by oil marketing companies (OMCs). Analysts noted that such adjustments have a modest influence on broader inflationary trends as they raise costs across transport and hospitality sectors, and that policymakers and firms will monitor pass-through effects as the changes settle into market prices.

Inside a Pumped Storage Project: How It Actually Balances the Grid

What happens when the sun sets just as electricity demand starts to rise? Solar generation falls, but homes, factories and businesses still need power. Pumped storage power plants help bridge this gap by storing surplus electricity as gravitational potential energy in elevated water and releasing it when demand increases. As India adds more solar and wind capacity, this ability to shift electricity across hours is becoming increasingly important for grid flexibility.What is a Pumped Storage Power Plant?A pumped storage power plant (PSP) is a long-duration energy storage facility with two reser..
