India Shields Aviation Sector with $1 Billion Fuel Fund

To prevent airline failures and ticket price surges amid the West Asia crisis, the Indian government has set aside ₹100 billion (approx. $1 billion) to cap jet fuel prices . The price for domestic airlines is capped at ₹75.6 per liter in Delhi, compared to the market rate of ₹104.9.

Why it matters for B2B

Aviation stability in India prevents a supply shock in the regional market. It ensures that carriers like IndiGo and Air India Express can maintain their aggressive Southeast Asia expansion plans without passing massive fuel hikes onto ticket prices, keeping routes like Bangkok, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur affordable for Indian tourists .
