Jet fuel price increased

The price of jet fuel, used by aircraft, has been increased following recent hikes in petrol and diesel prices. The new price has been set at Rs355.52 per litre, up from Rs346.47.

This means jet fuel has become Rs9.05 per litre more expensive. The increase may add to operating costs for airlines, depending on how fuel expenses affect their overall budgets.

Kerosene oil also becomes expensive

The price of kerosene oil has also been raised by Rs7.68 per litre. Its new price is Rs329.54 per litre, compared with the previous rate of Rs321.86.

Kerosene is used for heating, cooking and other purposes in some households and settings. The price increase may put additional pressure on consumers who rely on this fuel.
