AAI's incentives to boost intn'l flights at Bhopal
Bhopal: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) initiated a significant development for international air connectivity at Bhopal airport. AAI introduced a scheme of incentives to attract airline operators in Bhopal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Director of Bhopal airport, Ramji Awasthi, stated that the operations department of AAI wants to boost international flights at thirteen underused international airports, including Bhopal's Raja Bhoj airport. "These airports currently have no international connections. To make this happen, they've proposed an incentive program for airlines," said Awasthi. He added, "The goal is to encourage airlines to start flying international routes from these locations. This will help these airports grow and better serve their communities." Airport officials mentioned that three of the 13 airports are major ones, while the other ten are smaller, non-major airports. The incentive scheme aims to encourage scheduled airlines to start international routes. The major airports included in the scheme are Patna, Srinagar, and Ayodhya. Srinagar and Port Blair are civil enclaves, meaning they share space with defence airports. The ten non-major airports are divided into three clusters. Cluster 1 includes Agartala, Imphal, Vadodara, and Bhopal. Cluster 2 has Rajkot, Gaya, Aurangabad, and Tirupati. Cluster 3 consists of Kushinagar and Port Blair. The incentive scheme offers benefits to airlines for each flight they land. For example, airlines flying to Agartala, Imphal, Vadodara, and Bhopal (Cluster 1) can get a full refund on landing fees, meaning they pay nothing to land their planes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Let's look at a specific example. An Airbus A320-74 MT landing at one of these airports would normally pay Rs. 57,129 in landing fees. With the 100% incentive, the airline pays nothing, saving them Rs. 57,129 per landing. Airlines also collect a "User Development Fee" (UDF) from passengers. This fee is used to improve airport facilities. For an A-320 with 144 passengers, the UDF collected would be Rs 107,280. The incentive scheme offers airlines a percentage of this UDF as an additional benefit. In Cluster 1, which includes Bhopal, the incentive is 10% of the UDF collected. This means airlines get an extra Rs 10,728, bringing the total UDF revenue to Rs 96,552. The total additional revenue for airlines in Cluster 1 is calculated from landing fee savings and UDF incentives. The 'Net Landing' revenue (savings on landing fees) for all four airports is Rs 474,426.4. The 'Net UDF' revenue (incentives on UDF) is Rs 75,580, giving a total additional revenue of Rs 548,476. The incentive percentages vary across the clusters, meaning the financial benefits for airlines will differ depending on which airports they fly to. The operations department hopes these incentives will be enough to attract airlines. More international flights will boost local economies and connect people to the world. The scheme aims to encourage international air connectivity and boost local economic development through these financial incentives.

India slaps anti-dumping duties on key chemical imports from China, EU, Japan, and Switzerland
New Delhi: The government has imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of Vitamin-A Palmitate and Insoluble Sulphur from China, Japan, Switzerland and the European Union (EU), aiming to shield domestic manufacturers from low-priced imports that regulators say are hurting local industry. According to a finance ministry notification issued late on Friday, the five-year duties follow investigations by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which found that both substances were being exported to India at unfairly low prices, below cost or fair market value, and were undercutting Indian producers. These products are critical inputs for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and tyre manufacturing. For Vitamin-A Palmitate—used in fortified foods, nutraceuticals and pharma formulations—the DGTR found 'material injury' to domestic producers due to large-scale dumping from China, the EU and Switzerland. The compound, widely used in small dosages, continues to be largely import-dependent in India. Effective immediately, duties will range from $0.87 to $20.87 per kg. The highest duty has been imposed on Chinese exporters other than Shangyu NHU BioChem Co. Ltd., which will face a lower rate of $14.95/kg. Swiss producer DSM Nutritional Products Ltd will attract a duty of $0.87/kg, while other Swiss exporters will face $8.2/kg. A flat rate of $11.09/kg will apply to imports from the EU. Vitamin-A Palmitate in the strength of 1.6 MIU/Gm, used for animal feed, has been excluded from the levy. India imported $48.6 million worth of Vitamin-A Palmitate in FY25, with the bulk of the shipments coming from China and Europe, according to commerce ministry data. While the move comes as a relief for domestic Vitamin-A makers, industry players flagged India's broader dependence on imports for this compound, which is crucial for nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. 'While the anti-dumping duty provides protection to domestic manufacturers of the compound, it could raise input costs for drug makers in the short term, especially those relying on imports from Switzerland and China,' said Yogendra Sharma, a drug manufacturer. 'However, the price impact is expected to be manageable given that Vitamin-A is used in small dosages and accounts for a minor fraction of total formulation cost.' 'With global supply chains realigning, India is now far more proactive in using WTO-compliant instruments to protect its domestic industry. The Vitamin-A Palmitate case is another example of this assertiveness,' said Manish Kr Shubhay, a multidisciplinary dispute resolution expert and Partner at The Percept Law Offices. The anti-dumping duties are payable in Indian currency, based on the exchange rate notified by the Revenue Department on the date of filing the bill of entry. In a related notification, the government also slapped five-year anti-dumping duties on imports of Insoluble Sulphur from China and Japan, used primarily by tyre manufacturers to improve rubber vulcanization. DGTR's investigation found that exporters from both countries were dumping the product at depressed prices, adversely affecting profitability and pricing power of Indian producers. Depending on the exporter, the duties range from $259 to $358 per metric tonne. Chinese imports will face a flat $307/MT levy. Among Japanese exporters, Shikoku Chemicals will be charged $259/MT, while all others will attract the highest rate of $358/MT.
