The Centre has imposed strict fare caps on all domestic flights after ticket prices soared during the IndiGo crisis. Economy fares are now limited to Rs 7,500 for routes up to 500 km and up to Rs 18,000 for distances above 1,500 km. These limits apply across all booking platforms. The government said the order aims to prevent “opportunistic pricing” as IndiGo cancelled over 1,000 flights in recent days due to crew shortages and new duty rules. Many routes saw fares jump up to four times the normal rate. Airlines have been told to add capacity and keep all fare buckets open. (PC: India Today)
