Regulators are accelerating approvals and increasing scrutiny of the largest carriers and their boards to restore capacity and market resilience.

Briefing
The ministry’s decision to approve two new carriers follows an operational collapse that paralysed airports, signalling a policy shift toward using market entry to relieve capacity and systemic risk (see IndiGo's operational collapse: https://hype.aero/?story=7954e072-2b25-42fc-82ab-109299a55673).
Regulators have stepped up direct oversight—embedding a DGCA team at IndiGo HQ and issuing show-cause notices—so approvals for new entrants are now part of a broader regulatory response to restore reliability and protect consumers (see DGCA oversight and show-cause actions: https://hype.aero/?story=4e895d43-a889-436c-8ffb-aa7f2af22a7c and https://hype.aero/?story=e2489fb8-0b3d-466f-be24-bfa6cd977e91).
