Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu today appreciated the Delhi Government for its timely decision to reduce Value Added Tax on Aviation Turbine Fuel from 25 percent to 7 percent.

In a social media post, praising the move, Mr Naidu remarked that at a time when the aviation sector continues to face global operational and cost pressures, such proactive measures by State Governments provide much-needed support to airlines and help keep air travel affordable for passengers.

The Minister noted that Delhi, being one of the country’s busiest aviation hubs, will particularly benefit from this decision through improved operational stability and continued affordable connectivity for lakhs of daily passengers.
