Air India has introduced fare caps on domestic flights following a government directive after IndiGo canceled hundreds of flights, leaving travelers stranded.
Economy-class fares are now limited to ₹7,500 for flights under 500 km, ₹12,000 for 500–1,000 km, ₹15,000 for 1,000–1,500 km, and ₹18,000 for flights over 1,500 km, excluding taxes.
Air India and Air India Express started applying caps from December 4, and passengers who booked above the limits will receive refunds.
The move aims to protect travelers and ensure price stability amid the ongoing aviation disruption.
