Domestic air travel is set to become more expensive across India starting March 23, after the government lifted fare caps, allowing airlines to price tickets freely in line with market conditions and rising costs. The move by the&nbsp;Ministry of Civil Aviation&nbsp;marks a return to full deregulation, ending temporary price bands that were introduced to stabilise fares during operational disruptions. With these limits gone, airlines are now expected to gradually increase ticket prices, particularly on high-demand routes.&nbsp;Industry estimates suggest that passengers could see fare hikes ranging from ₹200 to ₹1,500 per ticket, depending on the airline, route and booking window. Sources from IndiGo airline say that it is expected to lead the trend, with fares likely rising between ₹300 and ₹1,200. The airline has already introduced fuel surcharges, and prices on busy metro routes like Delhi–Mumbai and Mumbai–Bengaluru could see sharper increases of up to ₹1,500, especially during peak hours.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-s-free-seat-selection-plan-may-backfire-airlines-warn-passengers-may-still-end-up-paying-more-here-s-how-1774074627634">India's free seat selection plan can backfire!

The Gujarat government has announced plans to build a new, expanded hostel at the site of the devastating Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad, marking a significant step toward recovery and reconstruction months after the tragedy. The crash, which occurred on June 12, 2025, involved a Boeing 787 operated by Air India. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft went down and struck the hostel and canteen complex of B.J. Medical College, leading to widespread destruction and the loss of around 260 lives, including passengers and people on the ground. In response, authorities have decided to demolish the damaged structures and construct a modern hostel facility in their place. The new building is planned to accommodate 292 students—nearly triple the capacity of the previous hostel, which housed about 100 residents.&nbsp; Officials say the design will focus on improved safety standards, better infrastructure, and increased capacity to meet the growing needs of medical students. The total project cost is estimated at Rs 103 crore. Of this, Rs 53 crore will be funded by the Tata Group, which owns Air India, while the remaining amount will be borne by the state government. This joint effort is being seen as both a rebuilding initiative and a gesture of responsibility following the disaster. Government sources indicate that tenders for the project will be issued soon, with construction expected to begin in the coming months. While the primary focus is on restoring student housing, discussions are also ongoing about incorporating a memorial element to honour those who lost their lives.

Mumbai: India's financial capital city, Mumbai’s already expensive housing market could see another price surge, with a new report by&nbsp;Anarock Group&nbsp;warning that disruptions in the&nbsp;Strait of Hormuz&nbsp;are likely to drive up construction costs and, in turn, property prices across the city. The report highlights that escalating tensions in the Middle East have impacted global shipping routes, forcing vessels to take longer, costlier detours. This has increased transit time for key construction materials by up to two to three weeks, while freight costs have surged significantly due to higher fuel prices and war-risk insurance premiums.&nbsp;As a result, developers in&nbsp;Mumbai&nbsp;are facing a sharp rise in input costs. Steel prices have reportedly jumped around 20 per cent in recent weeks, while other essential materials such as aluminium, fittings and imported marble have also become more expensive. For high-rise projects, which dominate Mumbai’s skyline, even a marginal increase in material cost can significantly impact overall project budgets.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/gurugram-overtakes-mumbai-as-india-s-top-luxury-housing-market-1771839218491">Gurugram overtakes Mumbai as India’s top luxury housing market</a>&nbsp;Anarock notes that these rising costs are unlikely to be absorbed entirely by developers. Instead, they are expected to be passed on to homebuyers, particularly in the premium and luxury housing segments. Areas such as South Mumbai, Worli, Bandra Kurla Complex and Lower Parel—where a large number of high-end projects are currently under construction—could see the sharpest price hikes.The report estimates that property prices in certain segments could rise by at least 5 per cent if the current situation persists. With over 10,000 luxury housing units under development in the city, the impact is expected to be substantial.&nbsp;Additionally, the crisis could also affect demand from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), who form a significant portion of buyers in Mumbai’s luxury market. &nbsp;

The Maharashtra government has stepped up action against the Gulzar-e-Raza Trust, with Chief Minister&nbsp;Devendra Fadnavis&nbsp;confirming that the organisation’s bank accounts have been sealed as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged financial irregularities. The move follows a probe by the&nbsp;Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad&nbsp;(ATS), which flagged suspicious transactions linked to the trust. Officials suspect that the organisation collected several crores in donations, reportedly for religious and charitable purposes, but may have diverted funds elsewhere.&nbsp;According to investigators, the trust came under the scanner after inputs suggested irregular inflow of money, including possible foreign contributions that may not have followed due legal process. Authorities say the accounts were frozen to prevent any further movement of funds while the probe continues. The case is believed to have roots in Maharashtra’s Beed district, where initial findings raised doubts about the legitimacy of the trust’s operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Officials found that the organisation may not have been properly registered under relevant laws, including those governing public trusts, which raised serious red flags. Further investigation has revealed that multiple bank accounts were allegedly opened using forged or misleading documents. In some cases, fake registration details and PAN information were reportedly used to give the trust an appearance of authenticity. Police suspect that funds running into several crores were routed through these accounts.&nbsp;Sources say a few individuals linked to the trust have already been booked, and arrests were made earlier in connection with the case. Investigators are now working to trace the money trail and identify whether more people or entities were involved in the alleged fraud.&nbsp;The state government has made it clear that strict action will be taken in cases where religious or charitable platforms are misused for financial wrongdoing. Officials say the focus remains on ensuring transparency and accountability, while the investigation continues to unfold.

Mumbai Police have cracked down on the illegal black marketing of LPG cylinders after a raid in the Worli area led to the seizure of a large stock of domestic and commercial gas cylinders that were allegedly being stored and sold illegally.&nbsp;Officials from the city’s rationing and supply department carried out the operation after receiving information about LPG cylinders being diverted from authorised supply channels and sold at inflated prices.&nbsp;Acting on the tip-off, a team conducted an inspection at a location in Worli where they discovered several cylinders stocked without proper authorisation.&nbsp;According to officials, both domestic LPG cylinders meant for household use and commercial cylinders used by restaurants and eateries were found at the premises.&nbsp;Authorities suspect that domestic cylinders, which are subsidised and strictly meant for residential consumption, were being illegally diverted and supplied to commercial establishments to make higher profits.&nbsp;Officials said storing LPG cylinders in bulk without permission is a serious violation and can pose significant safety risks. Since LPG is highly flammable, improper storage in crowded neighbourhoods can increase the risk of fires or explosions.&nbsp;The seized cylinders have been taken into custody by the authorities and further investigation is underway to trace the origin of the cylinders and identify those involved in the alleged black marketing network.&nbsp;Officials are also trying to determine whether the cylinders were diverted from authorised distributors or transporters within the supply chain.&nbsp;Authorities said strict action will be taken against those responsible under relevant provisions of the Essential Commodities Act and other rules governing LPG distribution.&nbsp;The raid comes at a time when several parts of Mumbai have been facing LPG supply issues, with households and restaurants reporting difficulties in getting cylinders.&nbsp;Officials believe that such shortages sometimes lead to hoarding and illegal sale of cylinders in the black market at higher rates.&nbsp;In response, the rationing department has stepped up inspections and enforcement drives across the city to curb diversion and ensure fair distribution of LPG cylinders.&nbsp;Officials have also appealed to citizens to report any suspicious sale of LPG cylinders or cases where gas is being sold above the government-regulated price, saying public cooperation will help authorities curb such illegal practices&nbsp;

The scheme will apply to women employees working in government offices under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation as well as other state government departments in the city.&nbsp;Under the new policy, women employees will have some flexibility in their reporting time in the morning. Those who choose to arrive earlier than the standard office time will also be allowed to leave earlier in the evening after completing their required working hours.&nbsp;The aim is to give women the option to plan their commute in a way that helps them avoid the heavy rush typically seen during peak hours in Mumbai. For many working women in the city, commuting during peak hours can be physically exhausting.&nbsp;Mumbai’s suburban trains, buses and roads are often extremely crowded during office hours, particularly in the morning and evening. By allowing employees to shift their work timing slightly, the government hopes to reduce travel stress and make commuting safer and more manageable.&nbsp;Officials say the initiative could benefit thousands of women employees across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, especially those who travel long distances every day. The move is also expected to help working mothers and women who juggle professional responsibilities along with household duties.&nbsp;The scheme was announced around the time of International Women’s Day and is being seen as part of the state government’s broader push towards women’s empowerment and workplace support. Government officials say the idea is to create a more supportive and flexible work environment that recognises the challenges faced by women in large urban centres like Mumbai.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/j-k-launches-valley-wide-drive-to-identify-demarcate-properties-of-displaced-kashmiri-pandits-1773218408791">J&amp;K launches valley-wide drive to identify, demarcate properties of displaced Kashmiri Pandits</a>

‘Come early, go early’: Maharashtra govt eases commute for women employees

The ongoing conflict between Israel, US and Iran in West Asia is beginning to have ripple effects far beyond the region. With tensions rising and concerns over disruptions to energy supply routes, countries like India — which import a large share of LPG from West Asian nations — are taking precautionary steps. Amid fears of potential supply disruptions, the Pune Municipal Corporation has temporarily shut around 20 gas-based crematorium furnaces in the city and is shifting to electric ones instead.&nbsp;Officials say the move is aimed at conserving LPG to ensure that household cooking gas supplies remain unaffected if the conflict impacts fuel availability. In a precautionary move aimed at protecting the supply of cooking gas for households, authorities in&nbsp;Pune&nbsp;have temporarily shut down several gas-based crematorium furnaces. The decision was taken by the&nbsp;Pune Municipal Corporation&nbsp;after concerns were raised about potential disruptions in LPG availability due to ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting global energy supplies. According to civic officials, around 20 gas crematorium furnaces across the city have been temporarily taken out of operation. These facilities typically rely on LPG to run their furnaces, which offer a relatively cleaner and faster alternative to traditional wood-based cremations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Officials said the step was taken following guidance from the&nbsp;Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas&nbsp;to prioritise domestic LPG consumption. With uncertainty surrounding global supply chains, authorities are taking preventive measures to ensure that households do not face shortages of cooking gas.India imports a significant portion of its LPG requirement, with a large share coming from countries in West Asia. Any disruption in the region can affect shipments and create pressure on domestic supplies. Given this situation, policymakers are prioritising essential domestic consumption over other uses of LPG.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran in West Asia is beginning to have ripple effects far beyond the region.
