On Friday, the IndianOil Corporation (IOC) announced that aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices for domestic airlines will remain unchanged, absorbing the impact of rising global fuel prices. This decision aims to protect both airlines and consumers amid international price volatility. Retail prices for petrol, diesel, and domestic LPG cylinders have also been maintained, ensuring stability for consumers who represent nearly 90% of total fuel consumption. IOC highlighted that approximately 80% of petroleum products have not experienced price changes, with only 4% seeing a decrease and 16%—primarily industrial fuels—recording price increases. The adjustments reflect a careful strategy by oil marketing companies to balance global trends with domestic consumer protection and economic stability.
