India raises cooking gas, jet fuel prices

NEW DELHI: India raised on Friday the prices of commercial liquified petroleum gas and jet fuel for international airlines, according to a state-run energy firm, as supply pressures from the Iran war mount.

The South Asian nation is heavily dependent on imported energy, including for roughly 60 percent of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the fuel used for cooking by a vast section of its population, the largest in the world.
