State refiners will hold domestic aviation turbine fuel (ATF) for June at
104,927 rupees per kiloliter (~$1,104), after carriers requested a pause on
further increases amid fallout from the Iran war. ATF rose 8.6% in April and was
kept stable in May; refiners have reduced international-flight ATF prices to
provide additional relief. The government has announced measures including
parking-fee rebates and lower departure fuel taxes at Delhi and Mumbai. Airlines
remain exposed to rupee weakness, increasing dollar-denominated aircraft lease
and overseas airport costs.
