Domestic cylinder prices were left unchanged, while jet fuel went up for a fourth month in a row.
Oil marketing companies raised the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder from Sunday, 1 November, with Kolkata seeing the steepest increase among the four metros, Rs 17, taking the price to Rs 2,971, India TV News reported, citing ANI and PTI.

It is the third straight monthly increase for commercial cylinders, after rises on 1 September and 1 October, The Quint and Oneindia reported. Reports differ on the size of the October rise, giving it as Rs 62.50 or Rs 65 in Delhi.
The price of the 14.2-kg domestic cylinder used in homes was unchanged at Rs 942 in Delhi, India TV and The Quint reported.

Commercial LPG is used by restaurants, hotels, canteens and hostels, so the increase lands just before the festive season. The commercial cylinder reached a record Rs 3,113.50 in Delhi in June, according to India TV. The state-run oil companies revise LPG and ATF prices on the first day of each month.
