Upper and lower limits on domestic airfares will remain in place for another three months post November 24: Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri
— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) October 29, 2020
The base minimum airfare of domestic flights ranges from ₹2,000 to ₹6,500 and the maximum range from ₹6,000 to ₹18,600. Airlines have to make available 40% of total seats in an aircraft at less than the midpoint price between the highest and lowest fares.
While the upper price limit is aimed at preventing any sharp rise in fares due to pent-up demand, the lower limit will help ensure that the financial viability of airlines does not suffer amid high costs.
Apart from the extension of the domestic fare caps, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has also extended the capacity caps placed on domestic flights till the 24th of February 2021. See the order here.
