India’s airlines rejected cheaper, predictable fuel prices. Now they want relief agai

India’s airlines are struggling with rising fuel costs, but here’s the irony: the government offered them a ₹10,000 crore fuel-price protection scheme in June, and not a single airline signed up. Jet fuel prices in India are linked to international benchmarks, with shipping, insurance, supplier margins, central excise and state VAT adding to the bill. The scheme offered fuel at roughly ₹115/litre in Delhi, even if market prices rose or fell. Airlines rejected it when prices were lower. Now, with fuel around ₹137/litre, the government is considering reviving it. Will airlines take the deal this time?
