Why Are IndiGo and SpiceJet in Focus Amid GST Hike Buzz?
Air Travel GST Update
The government is reportedly considering an increase in Goods and Services Tax (GST) on business and premium class flight tickets. The proposed change would raise GST from 12% (with ITC) to 18% (with ITC), directly impacting premium travel fares.
- Economy class tickets — domestic & international — will continue to attract 5% GST.
- Premium economy, business, and first-class currently taxed at 12% across all flights.
- The revision could result in costlier fares for premium travelers.
Airlines such as IndiGo and SpiceJet may see a shift in demand patterns if the proposal is implemented, with premium flyers bearing the higher tax burden.
