'Autorickshaw fare is more than airline fare,' says Delhi HC while refusing capping of airfares

The Delhi High Court declined to cap airfares across India, stating that the airline industry is highly competitive and faces significant losses. The court emphasized that market forces should determine ticket prices and that the industry is already well-controlled, with substantial investments. It ruled out the need for new regulations and dismissed two petitions seeking fare regulation. The petitions, filed by advocate Amit Sahni and consumer rights activist Bejon Misra, aimed to prevent arbitrary pricing by airlines.
