Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu said the government is closely monitoring aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices and remains in discussion with airlines on fuel surcharge-related concerns. He highlighted the ₹10,000 crore price stabilisation fund for ATF, underlining the government's focus on the issue. Naidu noted that while fuel prices have recently declined, authorities want to assess whether the trend is sustainable before taking any decision. He added that the last four months have been challenging for airlines due to fuel price volatility and said surcharge reductions could be considered if long-term price stability is established.
