State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) raised the prices of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, with effect from September 1. With the latest revision, the prices of ATF in the four metros were increased by up to Rs 13,911 per kilolitre, taking the total hike to more than Rs 21,000 in two months. 

Here are the new prices of the jet fuel, applicable from September 1:

• New Delhi: Rs 1,12,419.33 per kilolitre 
• Kolkata: Rs 1,21,063.83 per kilolitre
• Mumbai: Rs 1,05,222.13 per kilolitre

The move comes just before the onset of the festive season in the country, which typically boosts the demand for travel. 

Fuel forms the lion's share in airlines' operating costs.
