May 17, 2020: The credit rating agency ICRA in its latest analysis noted that the domestic aviation industry of India will require additional funding of Rs 335-350 billion over the FY 2021-2023.

The Indian aviation industry is reporting a net loss of Rs 75-90 crore per day of the shutdown of operations. Which also means Rs 51-61 billion of loss over the period from March 25, 2020, to May 31.
