|March 27, 2025

Delhi airport saw a record 80 million passengers last year despite a 25% VAT on ATF, but this could change once the new airport in Jewar in Uttar Pradesh (UP) becomes operational. UP has said it will be charging a much lower 1%; indeed, 25 states and Union territories charge VAT between 1% and 4%.
