Indian Airlines Seek Faster Release of ECLGS 5.0 Funds Amid Rising Costs
Indian airlines, represented by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), have requested urgent government intervention to expedite the release of funds under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) 5.0. The industry faces financial strain due to rising aviation turbine fuel prices, the West Asia conflict, airspace restrictions, flight diversions, and rupee depreciation. While some airlines have received partial credit, delays from lending institutions have hindered full disbursal, prompting calls for timely support to maintain liquidity.
