IndiGo, SpiceJet Share Prices Jump
The price cut, amounting to Rs 5,883 per kiloliter, provides much-needed relief to domestic airlines grappling with rising operational costs.
The price adjustments now set ATF prices for domestic airlines at Rs 87,597.22 per kiloliter in Delhi and Rs 81,866.13 per kiloliter in Mumbai. For international operations, the revised prices are $795.27 per kiloliter in Delhi and $794.57 in Mumbai.
This move by OMCs will bolster the aviation sector, which has been under increasing pressure due to fluctuating fuel costs.
The reduction is expected to positively impact airline profitability, potentially allowing carriers to lower ticket prices or enhance services for passengers. This development is seen as a crucial step in stabilising the aviation industry as it continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
