Jet fuel prices were today hiked by 5.8 per cent, the second consecutive increase since June, as rupee depreciation made imports costlier.

Aviation turbine fuel price at Delhi was hiked by Rs 3,617.84 per kilolitre, or 5.8 per cent, to Rs 66,034 per kl with effect from midnight tonight, according to Indian Oil Corporation.
