Supreme Court sets November 16 hearing as centre promises fare transparency

Following oral arguments on the public‑interest litigation filed by social activist S. Lakshminarayan, the bench ordered that the newly prepared fare‑regulation framework be laid before the Court on 16 November. The judges stressed that airline pricing must exhibit "reasonable logic" and called upon the government to provide relief to passengers who face extreme price differentials on the same route – for example, economy tickets ranging from ₹8,000 to ₹18,000 on the same day.
