BEML’s new products

Even though two of India’s domestic airlines, IndiGo and SpiceJet, have reported some improvement in load factors because of easing in capacity restrictions and lifting of lockdown measures as also reduction in ATF prices, there is still turbulence as fewer passengers are forthcoming. IndiGo is clearly ahead of others, with its market share over 60% but SpiceJet has maintained its place. According to analyses, the carrier is operating at less than half of pre Covid schedule, and has much lower load factors. While passenger revenues were understandably lower, the focus on cargo operations helped sales from the segment rise 144%. The freighter and logistics segment now accounts for 32 % of SpiceJet’s revenues.
