MP govt slashes VAT on aviation turbine fuel to 4% at Bhopal, Indore airports

In a bid to enhance air connectivity, the Madhya Pradesh government has decided to reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to 4 per cent at Bhopal and Indore airports, a move it hopes will bring down airfares, an official said on Wednesday.

Currently, VAT on ATF was 25 per cent at Bhopal and Indore airports, and with the decision to slash it taken by the state cabinet on Tuesday, it will come down to 4 per cent, the official from the public relations department said.
