Shares of aviation companies like InterGlobe Aviation ( IndiGo ) and SpiceJet are likely to remain in focus today as the government, in its 55th GST Council meeting, may consider bringing ATF under the GST's ambit.

As ET reported earlier, the 55th GST Council meeting is likely to discuss the possibility of bringing aviation turbine fuel (ATF) under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, a significant development for the aviation sector.

Incorporating ATF into the GST framework could deliver significant benefits to airlines, potentially boosting their operational efficiency and cost savings.

ATF, also known as Jet Fuel, is a clear and highly flammable petroleum distillate.

It is delivered to parked airplanes and helicopters using specially designed refueling vehicles.

Aircraft refueling is carried out by two techniques: Overwing and Underwing methods.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman , alongside representatives from all states and union territories, will convene the GST Council in Jaisalmer on December 21.

However, it has not yielded any results.

Also read: Large-caps likely to deliver better risk-adjusted returns Last year in March, the Maharashtra Government reduced the value-added tax (VAT) on ATF to 18% from 25%. This announcement was made by then Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis (now CM), while presenting the state budget.

Delhi is among the few states that still charge a very high tax of 25% on jet fuel.

Petrol, Diesel Rates May Ease As Cheaper Crude Arrives: What Hardeep Puri’s Signal Means For India

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says petrol and diesel rates in India may ease once recently bought cheaper crude reaches refiners, after global oil prices cooled and Brent slipped below $80 a barrel. The signal matters because India imports most of its crude, so any sustained fall can filter through to motorists, freight users and inflation. But the relief is unlikely to be immediate, because fuel prices depend on inventory cycles, logistics and how quickly oil companies pass on lower input costs.
