Centre weighs reviving ATF price stabilisation scheme
In short
The Centre is considering bringing back an ATF price stabilisation scheme. The earlier ₹10,000-crore scheme has already lapsed, and the new framework may be changed with airline and OMC input.
This could matter for airfares and fuel costs, but no final decision is reported. The timing and details are still unknown.
