FEW SEEN BETTING ON INDIA’S AVIATION STORY



Mumbai,India : For any investor to put money, there has to be a business case.

Does India’s aviation sector have one? All it has is a plethora of structural issues that 49% foreign direct investment – which was allowed on Friday after being kept in abeyance since 1997 — can’t solve, said experts.

India was the worst performer among aviation markets globally as domestic air traffic fell 1.1% in July, reflecting a flailing economy, according to the International Air Transport Association.

The total accumulated losses of the Indian aviation sector stood at a whopping (from 2006-March 2012) $8.5 billion and the number is likely to touch $10 billion this year.
