India Lifts Temporary Fare Caps on Domestic Flights

India's civil aviation ministry has declared that the temporary fare caps on domestic air tickets will be revoked starting Monday.

The fare limits were put in place last December after widespread cancellations by market leader IndiGo resulted in soaring prices at competing airlines.

The decision aims to stabilize ticket prices and allow for market-driven fare adjustments.
