How Tamil Nadu CM Vijay got rare praise from Modi govt: Big step he took on aviation fuel
Vijay government implemented steep tax cuts on ATF that will remain in force for one year, until 31 October 2027.
Chief Minister Vijay of Tamil Nadu has received commendation from the Centre for reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) on aviation turbine fuel (ATF). This action provides relief to the aviation sector, which is grappling with high global crude prices. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu applauded the Tamil Nadu government's decision, stating that collaborative efforts between the Centre and states are crucial for maintaining a viable aviation sector.
The Vijay government's tax cuts, effective until 31 October 2027, will lower airlines' operating costs and potentially lead to increased flight frequencies and expanded operations from regional airports.
