Rs 30000000000: Indian aviation industry may lose huge amount of money due to..., no connection with recent Air India crash
The report said that companies may incur this loss due to the continuous increase in aviation fuel prices. During the financial year 2023-24, the companies had a net profit of Rs 1,600 crore. Also, the domestic air passenger traffic growth rate has declined to 7.6 percent. According to the report, the industry saw stable pricing power in FY 2025, stable yields and domestic air passenger traffic growth rate declined to 7.6 percent.
Domestic air passenger traffic in June grew 5.1 per cent year-on-year to over 1.38 crore, but declined marginally compared to May, it said in a report released on Friday, July 11. Domestic air passenger traffic estimated at 138.7 lakh in June 2025
Maintaining a stable outlook for the industry, ICRA said supply chain disruptions, including Pratt & Whitney engine problems, continue to impact capacity and costs. Domestic air passenger traffic was estimated at 138.7 lakh in June 2025, up 5.1 per cent from 132.1 lakh in June 2024.
However, it saw a marginal decline of 1.3 per cent on a sequential basis. Capacity deployment of airlines in June 2025 was 4.9 per cent higher than June 2024; however, it was 2.3 per cent lower than May 2025. How did India-Pakistan conflict affect Indian aviation industry?
The operating costs of the Indian aviation industry are likely to have increased over the past few months (due to flight cancellations and other operational challenges following the India-Pakistan conflict).
Rising crude oil prices (due to the Israel-Iran conflict), closure of airspace over Iran and Pakistan (for Indian carriers), likely increase in insurance premiums (after the recent plane crash) and possible hesitancy to travel – potential downside risks need to be monitored closely.

Cyber criminals swindle Pune businessman of Rs 2.15 crore, posing as woman with marriage proposal
A 35-year-old Pune businessman lost Rs 2.15 crore to Cyber criminals posing as a woman who approached him on the pretext of marriage proposal and lured him with huge profits on currency trading. The victim was manipulated into making close to 28 transactions to mule accounts as he was made to believe that he was investing in the forex market. A First Information Report(FIR) in the case was registered at Cyber Crime police station of Pune by the victim who runs a company in the service industry. Between April and June earlier this year, the victim was defrauded of a total of Rs 2.15 crore, by cyber criminals posing as 'Aakriti Sharma', claiming she was from a business family. She said she had gotten the complainant's contact from matrimonial services and got in touch with the complainant over Whatsapp. The woman claimed her family ran a furniture business in Indore and said she was interested in taking the marriage proposal forward. She said that she and her brother were also into currency trading from which they were getting 25 per cent profit. As the man continued communicating with the woman with intent to take the proposal further, she convinced him to start investing in currency trading. She made him log onto a fraudulent trading platform and open his own profile on it. The complainant was given details of fraudulent bank accounts to send money to and each of his transfers was getting reflected on the fraudulent application along with corresponding high gains in US dollars. As the complainant continued talking to the woman he also made large transfers through the platform thinking he was getting huge profits. After transferring Rs 2.15 crore the corresponding profits as reflected on the platform were Rs four crore. As the complainant submitted a withdrawal request, he was asked to pay tax of Rs 57 lakh. At this point when he discussed the issue with his friends, the complainant was made to realise that he had been defrauded. He subsequently approached the Cyber crime police station and an FIR was registered on Tuesday following a preliminary inquiry.

Renewed optimism in Canada-India economic ties, says business council leader
Canadian investors and businesses are looking at India with renewed optimism against the backdrop of attempts by both countries to recondition their bilateral ties, said Victor T. Thomas, president and CEO of the Canada-India Business Council. 'The new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has certainly signalled the opportunity to engage with India, including inviting Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi to the G-7 Summit. In many ways, this was a reset in Canada-India relations, as trade diversification has been a major focus in Canada in 2025.' This gesture was more than symbolic — it demonstrated a strategic recognition of India's growing global economic importance. PM Carney's tone and early actions have re-established some trust on the India file and reignited some bilateral momentum. The business community sees this as an opportunity to rebuild and grow the commercial relationship and hopefully finally sign an Early Progress Trade Agreement after our closest allies, like Australia, and most recently, the U.K., have paved the way,' Mr. Thomas said. Mr. Thomas said that the business community is encouraged by recent signals arising from the meeting of the Prime Ministers and the move to restore the respective High Commissioners in Ottawa and New Delhi. India and Canada withdrew their respective High Commissioners in 2024, following allegations that Indian agents had orchestrated the killing of a Khalistani separatist in Canada. 'The business community values stability and predictability and has continued to make deals and stay active despite recent diplomatic challenges. These are encouraging signals for long-term business planning and I'm cautiously optimistic that relations will continue to improve,' said Mr. Thomas. According to Mr. Thomas, India presents enormous potential for Canadian firms looking to diversify beyond the U.S. market. Canada and the U.S. are locked in a trade war. 'Canadian companies already active in India are seeing real success, on the investment side of things, particularly in infrastructure and real estate. This year, investments from Canada into India — both direct and indirect — hovers around CA $100 billion! There are still many untapped opportunities to explore and with complementary strengths in sectors like agri-food, energy, education, and resources, there's far more we can achieve together,' he said.
