Air travel from Delhi to remote places within the country is set to become cheaper as the Delhi government on Wednesday announced a massive reduction in VAT on Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) from the existing 25 per cent to a mere 1 per cent.
The tax reduction will be applicable for flights destined to locations covered under the central government's Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) aimed at improving connectivity with remote areas, Delhi Finance Minister Manish Sisodia announced on Wednesday.
