Today, we are on our way to operate over 1500 flights by end of day. With regards to destinations, over 95 per cent of network connectivity has already been re-established as we are able to operate to 135 out of the existing 138 destinations in operations.

06 December,2025 11:12 PM IST | Mumbai | Madhulika Ram KavatturAir India and Air India Express have clarified that they have capped economy class fares on all non-stop domestic flights since December 4, 2025. The move was taken to prevent fare hikes that usually occur through revenue management systems when demand increases suddenly, an official statement said. The airlines said they were aware of screenshots circulating online that showed very high last-minute fares for journeys involving one-stop or two-stop routes, or combinations of economy, premium economy and business class. They explained that it is not technically possible to cap every such route or mixed-class itinerary, especially those displayed on third-party booking platforms. However, the airlines confirmed they are engaging with these platforms to ensure better monitoring and oversight. A spokesperson said that both Air India and Air India Express are working to add more capacity so that the travellers and their baggage can reach their destinations as quickly as possible. "Air India & Air India Express clarify that, since 4 December, economy class airfares on non-stop domestic flights have been proactively capped to prevent the usual demand-and-supply mechanism being applied by revenue management systems. We are aware of screenshots of last-minute itineraries with one-stop or two-stop flights or a combination of economy and premium economy or business cabins taken from third party platforms. It is not technically possible to cap all such permutations, but we are engaging such platforms to exercise oversight. Air India and Air India Express are seeking to add capacity to help travellers and their baggage reach their destinations as quickly as possible," an Air India spokesperson said. The airlines also announced a series of measures to support passengers affected by the widespread travel disruptions across the country. The airlines said the steps are aimed at helping stranded travellers reach their destinations as smoothly as possible. To offer passengers more flexibility, the airlines have introduced a one-time waiver of change or cancellation fees. This applies to customers who booked their domestic Air India or Air India Express tickets on or before December 4 for travel until December 15, 2025. They may reschedule their travel without paying rescheduling fees (fare difference may apply), or cancel their tickets and receive a full refund with no cancellation charges, it said. The waiver is valid for changes or cancellations made until 8 December 2025. Passengers may contact the 24x7 call centres or their travel agents. Air India Express customers can also use its chatbot Tia via WhatsApp, the website, mobile app, and Facebook Messenger. "Both airlines have deployed more staff to manage high call volumes and reduce waiting times. Air India: +91 11 6932 9333 and Air India Express: +91 124 443 5600 / +91 124 693 5600," an official statement said. The airlines also said they are using every available seat to help stranded travellers. Where possible, eligible Economy passengers may be upgraded at no extra cost. Additional flights are also being operated on key routes to clear backlogs and ensure passengers—and their baggage—reach their destinations quickly. It said that Air India and Air India Express confirmed that students, senior citizens, armed forces personnel and their dependents will continue to receive special discounted fares. These concessions may allow eligible passengers to book fares even lower than the capped economy rates.
06 December,2025 10:52 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party NCP (SP) leader and Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule has introduced a private member’s Right to Disconnect Bill aimed at protecting employees from excessive digital work pressure and ensuring a healthier work–life balance, reported the ANI. Titled “The Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025,” the proposal gives employees the legal right to stop responding to work-related emails, calls or messages outside office hours. It also allows penalties of 1 per cent of the total employee remuneration for companies that fail to comply, according to the ANI. In a post on X, Sule said the Bill seeks to “reduce burnout caused by today’s digital culture” and improve overall quality of life. The Bill argues that while modern communication technology offers flexibility, it has also blurred the boundaries between personal and professional life. It cites research showing that employees expected to be available round the clock often suffer from sleep deprivation, stress, emotional exhaustion and “telepressure” — the compulsion to check messages constantly, even on weekends and holidays. It also refers to “info-obesity”, a condition linked to overloading the brain with continuous digital communication, as per the ANI. To restore balance, the Bill says employees must have the right to protect their personal time and decline work communications after hours. At the same time, it allows companies flexibility to negotiate terms suited to their work culture. It also proposes overtime pay at the normal wage rate if employees choose to work outside regular hours, the news agency reported. The Bill further recommends counselling services to promote healthier digital habits and even suggests the creation of “digital detox centres” to help employees disconnect meaningfully. Supriya Sule said the Bill aims to protect employees’ rights while recognising employers’ operational needs, creating more respectful and sustainable work environments. Alongside this, she introduced two more private member’s Bill, the Paternity and Paternal Benefits Bill, 2025, which proposes paid paternal leave to allow fathers to play an active role in early childcare, support new mothers and encourage flexible parenting. The Code on Social Security (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to classify platform-based gig workers as a separate category entitled to minimum wages, regulated working hours, social security, fair contracts and safer working conditions. Many other Lok Sabha members also introduced their private member’s Bills during the session. (with ANI inputs)
06 December,2025 10:21 PM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentThe Ministry of Civil Aviation on Saturday imposed a country-wide cap on domestic airfares in order to contain the sharp and sudden surge in ticket prices following massive disruptions at IndiGo, which led to widespread cancellations and reduced capacity across several routes. As per the ministry's order, airlines have been prohibited from charging above the newly fixed maximum limits, which have been introduced in public interest, until flight operations return to normal. The cap ranges from Rs 7,500 to Rs 18,000 depending on the length of the route. For flights of up to 500 km, the maximum permissible fare is Rs 7,500. The cap for sectors between 500 and 1,000 km is Rs 12,000. Routes between 1,000 and 1,500 km have a ceiling of Rs 15,000, while fares on flights covering over 1,500 km cannot exceed Rs 18,000. These limits exclude applicable charges and do not apply to business class or UDAN flights. The ministry, however, has not so far clarified whether premium economy fares come under the cap, though the limits are confirmed to apply to economy class. The move comes against the backdrop of unprecedented spikes in airfare since December 4, with several online travel platforms reflecting inflated last-minute prices due to the sudden mismatch between demand and available capacity. The government said it will closely track fare levels in real time and coordinate with airlines and booking platforms to ensure strict compliance. Anything contrary to the prescribed caps will attract immediate corrective action. Alongside this fare regulation, the ministry has instructed IndiGo to process all pending passenger refunds without delay and complete the refund cycle for cancelled or disrupted flights by 8 PM on Sunday, December 7. It has also instructed the airline to trace and deliver all misplaced baggage to passengers' homes or chosen addresses within 48 hours. The measures are expected to stabilise domestic air travel costs and ease the burden on passengers until the current operational disruptions subside.

06 December,2025 08:51 PM IST | New Delhi | IANSLaunching a sharp attack on the Centre over the air travel crisis, the opposition on Saturday alleged that the ongoing disruption in IndiGo services is not accidental but the outcome of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government’s sustained attempt to create a duopoly in the aviation sector. As reported by news agency IANS, Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil, while pointing to the nationwide travel crisis over the past couple of days, said that “IndiGo's cancellation of more than 1,000 flights on December 5, 2025, followed by hundreds more on December 6, has brought India’s air travel system to an unprecedented collapse.” The Congress MP also emphasised that the disruptions have exposed weaknesses long ignored by the Centre. He also added that the consequences of this policy were now unfolding in full public view. Congress MP while slamming the BJP and the ongoing aviation crisis asserted that, “This crisis is not a natural breakdown; it is the predictable fallout of the BJP government that has been hell-bent on crushing competition, rewarding favourites, and reshaping an entire national industry to suit a tiny circle of corporate allies,” as cited by news agency IANS. MP Sasikanth Senthil further argued that aviation, which depends on tight safety rules and consistent oversight, has been forced into instability due to a policy framework that weakens regulatory checks while strengthening the grip of a handful of private players. Senthil said the government’s handling of aviation safety has revealed the scale of its neglect. Highlighting that the government released the Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules on January 8, 2024, and partially implemented them on July 1, 2025. He criticised the decision to suspend these safety rules in the middle of a sector-wide breakdown. MP Sasikanth Senthil from the Tiruvallur Lok Sabha constituency also added that, “This is not just irresponsible; it is outrageous. By scrapping rules specifically designed to prevent pilot fatigue, the BJP government has allegedly jeopardised passenger safety and thrown the well-being of cockpit crew into uncertainty.” He added, “Instead of stabilising the situation, they have deepened it, proving once again that safety and accountability mean nothing to this administration when weighed against the convenience of their preferred corporations,” as cited by news agency IANS. Sasikanth Senthil added that the government’s inclination towards building monopolies has become visible across major infrastructure sectors. He said that the trend shows how policy, regulation, and public assets are being used to strengthen a select conglomerate in aviation, telecom, ports, and other fields. The Thiruvallur MP linked the IndiGo crisis to the controversial electoral bonds, which the Supreme Court has struck down as unconstitutional and illegal, saying the disclosures further darken the picture. He alleged that the data shows InterGlobe group entities purchased around Rs 36 crore in electoral bonds, and its promoter, Rahul Bhatia, purchased about Rs 20 crore, most of which went to the BJP. Senthil added that, “It raises legitimate questions about how a sector once filled with healthy competition has been reduced to a fragile duopoly, and whether financial proximity to the BJP has played any role in shaping this distorted landscape. These concerns cannot be brushed aside; they strike at the heart of public trust and democratic integrity,” as per IANS. He further argued that the present chaos is the result of a system built on crony capitalism. “Aviation is the latest casualty. Telecommunications, infrastructure, cement, ports – the pattern repeats everywhere. The government’s actions suggest a dangerous commitment to empowering a select set of corporations while suffocating every other player, ultimately leaving India hostage to a handful of private giants.” Calling the situation a government-made disaster, Senthil said that this crisis has damaged the aviation sector, endangered passengers, destabilised markets, and shown the government’s disregard for transparency and competition.

06 December,2025 04:06 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe co-accused named in the prosecution complaint include former Reliance Power CFO Ashok Kumar Pal, Reliance NU BESS Ltd. and Rosa Power Supply Company Ltd. (subsidiaries of Reliance Power), Reliance Group executive Punit Narendra Garg, an Odisha-based "shell" company Biswal Tradelink Private Limited, its MD Patha Sarathi Biswal and trade financing consultant Amar Nath Dutta, reported the PTI. As per the Enforcement Directorate, Biothane Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Ravinder Pal Singh Chadha and Manoj Bhaiyasaheb Pongde are also among the accused. The officials from the ED also emphasised that the chargesheet has been filed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at the Patiala House court in Delhi on Friday, reported PTI. The case in which the above-mentioned parties have been accused pertains to a bank guarantee of Rs 68.2 crore submitted to secure a tender from the Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) on behalf of Reliance NU BESS Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Power, a listed company. The company (Reliance NU BESS) was formerly known as Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited. The probe, as per the agency, found that Reliance Group officials were well aware that this was a "fake" bank guarantee. Furthermore, "fraudulent" endorsements were being submitted to SECI from a "spoofed" email ID of SBI, and when SECI detected the fraud, Reliance Group arranged a genuine bank guarantee from IDBI Bank within a day of intimation of the fraud by SECI. The ED in their chargesheet mentioned that, "However, SECI refused to accept the fresh bank guarantee as it was submitted after the due date. Since Reliance NU BESS Limited had emerged as the L-2 bidder, in order to save the tender, Reliance Group officials even tried to arrange a fresh endorsement of the fake foreign bank guarantee from an SBI branch in Kolkata, as reported by PTI. While the response from the Reliance Group is still awaited, it had earlier said Ambani was "not on the Board of Reliance Power Limited for more than 3.5 years and is not concerned with this matter in any manner". The Reliance Group also claimed to have been a "victim of fraud, forgery and cheating conspiracy" in this case, adding that it had made due disclosures in this context to the stock exchange on November 7, 2024. The ED also added that Reliance Group officials signed a "dummy" agreement and also obtained the "Certificate of Enlistment" of Reliance NU BESS Limited from Kolkata Municipal Corporation by submitting "bogus" address documents. However, when they again failed to get the fresh endorsement done, in order to shift the entire blame onto the intermediary, they filed a complaint against Biswal Tradelink Private Limited and its MD, Partha Sarathi Biswal. Following this, Biswal was arrested by the ED in this case, apart from ex-Reliance Power CFO Ashok Kumar Pal and Dutta. They are currently lodged in jail under judicial custody, reported PTI. The money laundering case stems from a November 2024 FIR of Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW). It was alleged that Bhubaneswar-based shell entity Biswal Tradelink was engaged in issuing "fake" bank guarantees against commission. (With inputs from PTI)

Furthermore, the officials have also confirmed that East Central Railway has increased capacity on the Rajendra Nagar–New Delhi (12309) service by adding 2AC coaches over five trips scheduled between December 6 and 10. The initiative by the East Central Railway will improve the connectivity on the crucial Bihar–Delhi route. East Coast Railway has also augmented the Bhubaneswar–New Delhi services (Trains 20817/20811/20823) by adding 2AC coaches across five trips, enhancing travel options between Odisha and the capital, reported IANS. Speaking to the media about the ongoing situation, Indian Railway Board Executive Director of Information and Publicity (EDIP) Dilip Kumar further said, "Considering the rush of passengers, Indian Railways has decided to add extra coaches to several trains. In addition, plans have been made to operate several special trains. So far, 116 extra coaches are planned to be added to 37 trains, and work is underway accordingly,” as cited by news agency IANS. Special trains Along with these augmentations, four special train services have been introduced to further assist travellers.
