This has left many restaurants, manufacturers and power plants facing difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the disruptions, the government has maintained that India is not facing an overall fuel shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrices of bulk and commercial LPG cylinders have been revised,\u201d Indian Oil Corporation Limited, the country\u2019s leading energy marketing company, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to IOCL\u2019s price chart, the cost of a 19-kilogramme LPG cylinder for commercial use has increased by 993 rupees (about $10.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks a nearly 48 per cent rise in the capital, New Delhi, though local levies mean that rates vary across different cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sharp increase is expected to hit restaurants particularly hard, many of which have already been scaling back operations during the ongoing Middle East war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company also said that the price of jet fuel for international airline operations has \u201cbeen adjusted upward\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices have risen by around 5 per cent in Delhi, according to IOCL\u2019s latest catalogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: India on Friday raised the prices of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and jet fuel for international airlines, according to Indian Oil Corporation Limited, as supply pressures from&hellip;
