Cabinet Clears ₹10,000 Crore ATF Stabilisation Support to Shield Indian Aviation from Fuel Price Shock
The aviation industry is highly sensitive to fuel costs because ATF forms one of the largest components of airline expenditure. Under normal conditions, ATF accounts for nearly 40 per cent of operating costs. During periods of extreme volatility, this share can rise to nearly 60 per cent, creating pressure on route planning, ticket pricing, cargo operations and overall financial stability. The new support mechanism is designed to bring predictability into fuel pricing and prevent sudden cost shocks from flowing directly to passengers.
