How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is India's regulator for civil aviation safety, airworthiness certification and licensing.
- Under the newly notified airfare rules, the DGCA will monitor tariffs set by airlines rather than fix them.
- The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) deals with aviation security, while the Airports Authority of India manages airports and air navigation services.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 (Infrastructure: Aviation; regulation). Airfare spikes in peak demand expose the tension between market-set pricing and consumer protection; the notified rules assign the DGCA a tariff-monitoring role to improve transparency. The implication is better price discipline without full fare caps, and the way forward lies in a strong, independent regulator, data-driven monitoring and greater regional connectivity to boost competition.
