Toh bhai, sabse pehle ye samjho ki ye sab ho kyun raha hai. Asal mein, jo Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) hai na, uska price ek mahine mein 130% se bhi zyada bhag gaya hai. Upar se, West Asia mein jo tension chal rahi hai, usse bhi oil prices par fark pad raha hai.
Aur baat yahi nahi khatam hoti. Government ne ATF par ek naya special excise duty bhi laga diya hai, jo hai ₹50 per litre. Ab socho, jab fuel itna mehenga ho jayega toh company kaise manage karegi?
Sabse badi dikat ye hai ki Indian regulations allow karte hain ki domestic flights par fuel price increase ka sirf 25% hi passengers se liya ja sakta hai. Matlab, agar fuel 100 rupaye badha hai, toh passenger se sirf 25 hi zyada loge, baaki 75 ka nuksan company ko uthana padega.
Isi wajah se, IndiGo ab domestic bookings par ₹275 tak aur international bookings par ₹10,000 tak extra fuel charges lagane wali hai, jo April 2, 2026 se लागू ho jayega. Ye sab karne ka reason hai ki company apne rising operating expenses ko cover kar sake.
Jab tak fuel ka price volatile rahega, aur regulations ki wajah se poora paisa wapas nahi milega, toh airlines ke liye profit maintain karna mushkil hoga. Baki airlines bhi isi pressure mein hain, aur analysts thode cautious hain kyunki oil prices abhi bhi upar neeche ho sakte hain, aur global factors bhi is par asar dalenge. Jo fuel cost company recover nahi kar paegi, woh unke profit margin ko compress karega.
