The cost of plane fuel, specifically Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), is not a single fixed price but varies significantly based on location, time, and global market conditions. Based on the provided references from Indian Oil (iocl.com), here are the exact costs per kilolitre applicable from November 1, 2024, in several major Indian metropolitan cities:
According to the data, the costs in Indian Rupees per kilolitre are as follows:
| Metro City | Cost per Kilolitre (₹) |
|---|---|
| Delhi | 90,538.72 |
| Kolkata | 93,392.79 |
| Mumbai | 84,642.91 |
| Chennai | 93,957.10 |
These figures represent the price for one kilolitre (which is 1,000 litres) of ATF in these specific cities as of the date mentioned. Fuel prices are dynamic and are revised periodically, often on a fortnightly basis in India, influenced by international crude oil prices and exchange rates.
Understanding the cost of ATF is crucial for airlines as it constitutes a significant portion of their operating expenses. The prices listed reflect the rates set by fuel suppliers like Indian Oil at different airport locations.
