Alliance Air, under the Government of India, connects smaller cities and Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns to the main aviation network, bringing remote regions into India’s aviation network. Building on this regional focus, the state-owned carrier introduced the ‘Fare Se Fursat’ (One Route, One Fare) model last month, marking a significant step towards affordable, uniform ticketing across its routes. 

The initiative covers sectors such as Delhi-Shimla, Shimla-Dharamshala, Hisar-Chandigarh, Jabalpur-Jagdalpur, and Jalgaon-Ahmedabad, among others. These routes underscore the enduring significance of a public airline in connecting diverse geographies and fostering balanced regional development.

Further connections such as Vidyanagar-Bengaluru, Kochi-Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar-Rourkela, and those in the northern and northeastern regions, including Guwahati-Aizawl, Imphal-Dimapur, and Jorhat-Tezu, demonstrate the airline’s expanding network. By bringing previously unexplored destinations into focus, Alliance Air supports the government’s effort to strengthen regional air connectivity.

Meanwhile, the introduction of ‘Fare Se Fursat’ reflects a well-structured measure to encourage domestic air travel and reinforce India’s aviation ecosystem. Industry experts view this model, launched under the broader framework of the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) regional connectivity programme, as a potential turning point for affordable and inclusive air travel nationwide.

Jaideep Mirchandani, Group Chairman Sky One

“The purpose of aviation itself is to make air travel more people-oriented. One of the major concerns for passengers has always been the airfare. During peak seasons, they often have to pay higher prices, and when booking at short notice, they bear the impact of volatility. And if the state comes forward to address this concern, it is undoubtedly a positive step, “,said Jaideep Mirchandani, group chairman of Sky One.

According to the official statement, Alliance Air will introduce a single fixed fare that remains unchanged, regardless of the booking date, even on the day of departure. This pilot initiative will be in effect from October 13 to December 31, 2025. Although it will initially apply only to selected routes, further decisions will be taken after assessing its operational feasibility and passenger response. The key question however is just who stands to benefit the most from this move?

“I think passengers who travel frequently between Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities will benefit the most. Alliance Air generally operates on short and medium routes under the UDAN scheme. Its fleet mainly consists of ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft, which are suitable for smaller airports and can carry up to 72 passengers. The airline also operates a few ATR 42-600 aircraft with a capacity of 48 passengers and one Indian-made Dornier 228 aircraft that can accommodate 17 passengers. Naturally, this approach will make air travel more people-friendly,” added Mr Mirchandani.

The aviation expert says that measures related to fares and amenities, which may seem insignificant to high-net-worth individuals, hold great value for the common traveller. Without assigning blame, he points out that initiatives such as UDAN Yatri Cafes, offering tea for Rs 10, coffee for Rs 20, and snacks for Rs 20 at airports, can make a real difference to regular passengers.

“Gone are the days when air travel was seen as a privilege of the elite. It should be accessible to more people, ensuring dignity and affordability. We are now addressing one of the biggest concerns of passengers: airfare. I am curious to see how this move will impact private airlines in the country after the pilot phase. It will be interesting to observe how they adapt and incorporate similar measures within their domestic realms,” concluded Mr Mirchandani.

The Times of India hosted the inaugural Times Developers Dialogue – “Building a Collaborative City: The Role of Gated Communities in Hyderabad’s Urban Future”, bringing together leaders from development, regulation, finance, and market research to discuss how the city can grow responsibly while staying livable and affordable.

Ajitesh Korupolu – Founder & CEO, ASBL at Times Developer Dialogue – The Times of India

The panel featured Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder & CEO of ASBL; Dr. N. Satyanarayana, IAS, Chairperson, TGRERA; Sandip Patnaik, Senior Managing Director, JLL Hyderabad; and Vamsi Krishna B, Director Finance, Primark Developers. The panel represented different but equally critical perspectives from the developer’s view of market behavior and design innovation, to insights on policy, regulation, and data-driven planning. This diversity set the tone for a balanced conversation on how Hyderabad’s urban ecosystem can evolve sustainably while maintaining its reputation as India’s most livable city.

Ajitesh set the tone by arguing that transparent land auctions are good for Hyderabad because they speed up land access, ensure cleaner titles when the government is the supplier, and create clear price discovery. For younger developers, he noted, auctions reduce years of relationship-led acquisition to a simple, competitive process freeing teams to focus on product quality rather than paperwork. He also stressed that trust and compliance go hand-in-hand with growth, and that standardized disclosures and digital processes ultimately protect homebuyers and stabilize delivery cycles.

Looking ahead, the panel discussed how Hyderabad can handle density, infrastructure load, and affordability over the next five years. Ajitesh framed livability at higher densities as a design-and-operations challenge: plan for more lifts and shorter wait times, use traffic consultants to optimize internal circulation before approvals, increase amenities from the usual ~3% to ~5.5-6% of areas where feasible, and, most importantly, scale services (security, housekeeping, maintenance) because “amenities are 30%, services are 70% of daily life.” He explained how ASBL is building digital SOPs and handing over app-based maintenance playbooks so resident associations can run complex systems reliably after possession.

On city form, Ajitesh supported tall towers in well-equipped business districts, linked to wide roads, drainage, mobility, and utilities while keeping context-appropriate height controls elsewhere. Density, he added, lowers per-capita service costs and attracts better on-site services, but it only works when public infrastructure and building operations are upgraded together.

The session closed with agreement on near-term actions: deeper digitization of approvals and compliance, clear post-handover standards for RWAs, better data sharing to predict bottlenecks in traffic and water, and design codes that tie height to service capacity. Overall, the Dialogue emphasized a simple idea: Hyderabad’s advantage comes from working together – policy that invites investment, development that delivers livability, regulation that builds trust, and data that keeps everyone accountable.

The Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), the apex body representing India’s alternate capital ecosystem, will host the second edition of the GreenReturns Summit on 24–25 November 2025 in New Delhi. As one of IVCA’s flagship platforms, the Summit brings together key voices shaping India’s climate finance landscape, including global and domestic investors, policymakers, multilateral institutions, and climate-focused entrepreneurs.

IVCA GreenReturns Summit 2025 to Mobilise Capital for India’s Climate Transition

This year’s Summit is supported by leading institutions across finance, law, investment, and innovation. The partners for GreenReturns Summit 2025 are: SBI Ventures (Lead Partner), followed by AZB & Partners (Knowledge Partner), BIRAC – Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (Knowledge Partner), IDFC First (Banking Partner), Khaitan & Co. (Gold Partner), and Sundaram Alternates (Gold Partner). Their participation reflects the growing coalition of stakeholders committed to strengthening India’s climate capital ecosystem.

India today represents an estimated $10 trillion opportunity in climate and green investments-nearly three times its current GDP. Meeting its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2030 will require $2.5 trillion in climate-linked capital, signalling the scale of private investment the country must unlock over the coming decade.

From the investor community, Prem Prabhakar, Managing Director & CEO, SBI Ventures Limited, noted, “As climate resilience and economic growth converge, the Green Returns Summit provides an important platform to showcase how catalytic capital can drive sustainable value creation. At SBI Ventures, through Neev Funds, we have seen first-hand that investing in climate-positive enterprises not only delivers measurable impact but also builds competitive and future-ready businesses for India’s green transition.”

Reflecting on investor preparedness for India’s accelerating climate shift, Shantanu Gupta, Partner, Khaitan & Co. shared, “India’s climate transition is advancing at an unprecedented pace, shifting decisively from ambition to action. As technologies like storage, electric mobility and green hydrogen mature, it is imperative to equip investors with transparent risk frameworks, bankable contracts and clear regulatory pathways. The opportunity is immense, but so is the need to safeguard returns while enabling climate ambition. Supporting funders and businesses through this transition will be key to scaling solutions that shape the future of India’s green economy.”

Adding a private-credit perspective, Karthik Athreya, Managing Director, Sundaram Alternates, said, “Private credit can be a powerful catalyst for sustainable change. At Sundaram Alternates, we are focused on financing businesses and projects that combine performance with purpose. The launch of our Impact Report at the IVCA GreenReturns Summit highlights how disciplined lending and responsible investing can accelerate India’s transition towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and climate-resilient economy.”

Dr. Jitendra Kumar, Managing Director, Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), said, “India’s climate and sustainability challenges demand innovation at scale, backed by committed capital. At BIRAC, we see deep scientific entrepreneurship as central to this transition. Platforms like the IVCA GreenReturns Summit help connect breakthrough biotech solutions with investors who can take them from lab to market, accelerating India’s green growth journey.”

India’s policy environment has also begun actively enabling alternate capital. Initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission and the draft Climate Taxonomy reflect the government’s efforts to de-risk investment pathways. At the same time, adoption of renewables, electric mobility, green fuels, and other climate technologies continues to grow rapidly.

Investor interest mirrors this shift. In 2024, India became the second-largest destination globally for climate-related investments, mobilising $5.1 billion, surpassing China. Domestic participation is also rising, with family offices and high-net-worth investors beginning to expand their exposure to climate finance. Blended finance and institutional capital structures are emerging as crucial mechanisms to support India’s energy transition.

Adding perspective on the direction India must take, AZB & Partners observed, “India’s transition underscores a simple truth – sustainability is now an economic and systems challenge, not just an environmental one. Unlocking climate capital will depend on policy certainty, credible carbon markets, and investable infrastructure – grids, storage and clean fuels. The next decade offers a defining opportunity to align technology, regulation, and finance to deliver scalable, long-term decarbonization.”

Platforms like the GreenReturns Summit play a vital role in bringing these stakeholders together—bridging gaps between innovators, capital providers, and policymakers, and helping shape a long-term climate finance architecture for the country.

Speaking ahead of the event, Aakriti Bamniyal, Senior Vice President, IVCA, said, “The second edition of GreenReturns comes at a time when the effects of climate change are no longer distant or abstract—they are shaping India’s economic, social, and environmental reality today. This summit is designed to bring clarity, capital, and collaboration to the centre of India’s climate transition. Our goal is to match the urgency of the moment with actionable pathways that enable investors, policymakers, and innovators to work together and unlock impact at scale.”

The GreenReturns Summit 2025 aims to drive these conversations forward, enabling capital mobilisation at the scale needed to support India’s net-zero ambitions and build a climate-resilient future.
