Asal mein pura scene kya hai?
Yeh airlines badi mushkil mein hain. Jo sarkari oil refiners hain, jaise Indian Oil, HPCL aur BPCL, woh domestic flights ke liye jet fuel ₹92,000 per kiloliter ke loss par bech rahe hain. Ab ye log June ke liye jet fuel ka price 25% tak badhane ki soch rahe hain. Isliye, Air India, IndiGo aur SpiceJet jaise bade players zor laga rahe hain ki yeh hike postpone ho jaaye.
Government bhi beech mein?
India ka oil ministry bhi is conversation mein shaamil hai. Pehle April aur May mein bhi government ne aisi hi intervention ki thi, jab global oil prices badhne par latest jet fuel hike ko 25% par limit kiya tha aur oil companies ko prices stable rakhne ko kaha tha. Isse pata chalta hai ki airlines industry fuel rates ke liye kitni sensitive hai.
International vs. Domestic Rates ka Fark
Ye jo price hikes aur limits ki baatein ho rahi hain, yeh sirf domestic flights ke liye fuel par लागू hoti hain. International routes ke liye jet fuel toh pehle se hi regulated nahi hai aur iske rates April mein double se bhi zyada ho gaye the, May tak $1,511.86 per kiloliter tak pahunch gaye the.
Industry par aur kaunse pressures hain?
Jet fuel airlines ke operating costs ka lagbhag 40% hota hai, jo ki ek bahut bada hissa hai. Industry ne warning di hai ki agar fuel prices control nahi hui toh flights band ho sakti hain. Upar se, kamzor rupee ki wajah se plane leasing aur international airport services ka kharcha bhi badh raha hai. Airlines tax cuts ya deferrals ki maang bhi kar rahi hain. Ticket prices badhne se demand bhi thodi kam hui hai, jo market par aur pressure daal raha hai.
