Delhi must rationalise its VAT rate for jet fuel
Hindustan Times Patna
|March 27, 2025
The Delhi government would do well to respond positively to the Union civil aviation ministry's suggestion on reducing the value-added tax (VAT) it charges on aviation turbine fuel (ATF).
-
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%.

Impetus for science amidst a global churn
The relentless rise of technologies pervades every aspect of human life today, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is its enforcer. From manufacturing to services, from nano-materials to space travel, from new chemistry to biotechnology, the pace of this rise is frenetic. There are two extreme ways—and a few in between—for countries to address this rise. The first is to be a passive user and play with markets, services, and exports of natural resources, including human talent. The second is to become a truly competitive player in this changing world, and to tilt the use of science and technology for our social and economic benefit. Budget allocations can help in pointing out the direction.
