IndiGo ‘in talks with Central govt’ to bring aviation fuel under GST ambit

As crude oil prices continue to soar, IndiGo’s full-time Director and Chief Executive Officer Ronojoy Dutta on Wednesday urged the Central government to bring the Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) under goods and service tax (GST) ambit for the benefit of the aviation sector as well as customers.

Dutta in an official statement said, “We are in talks with the government to bring ATF under GST as it brings the benefit of the input tax credit. We believe that such measures are needed now more than ever to offset the increase in cost and make flying viable for airlines and affordable for consumers.”
