UDAN

To promote air travel, the UDAN scheme caps domestic flight tariffs at Rs 2,500 per hour. The balance amount in the airfares is covered by the government as part of the subsidy. The state governments also waive airport charges and taxes on aviation turbine fuel.

UDAN plans to make air travel in India more widespread.

Under the government's UDAN scheme, fares of many one-hour-long flights, mostly connecting tier-2 cities, are set to be capped.
