Air India to get benefit of Rs 480 cr from ATF purchase


Air India has struck a deal with oil companies to buy aviation turbine fuel (ATF) at a discount of about seven per cent. This would help the airline save Rs 480 crore on fuel consumption annually. According to a senior civil aviation ministry official, the discount offered by the oil companies is about Rs 5,000 a kilolitre. The discount offered to Jet Airways is about Rs 3,000 a kilolitre. The official added only German airline Lufthansa was offered a hefty discount. Discounts by oil companies depend on factors such as customer loyalty and timing of payments. In the last five months, Air India has paid its dues to oil companies on time. It is expected the carrier would pay about Rs 4,000 crore of previous dues to oil companies in April. “The oil companies were not offering us any discounts, as Air India was not paying its dues to them. Now, oil companies have re-negotiated ATF prices with Air India, as the airline’s performance has improved and we are committed to paying all arrears to oil companies by April,” the official said. Air India would clear all dues to airport operators, oil companies and pay performance-linked incentives to its employees by April, he added. Air India meets 60 per cent of its annual ATF requirement of about 960,000 kilolitres from Indian Oil Corporation and the rest from Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and other private companies. Annually, Air India spends about Rs 6,700 crore on ATF. The oil ministry has agreed to bring ATF under the ‘notified commodity’ list, and it is expected this would make the fuel’s pricing transparent. In India, sales tax on ATF is about 24 per cent, second only to Bangladesh (27 per cent). For international operations, no sales tax or value-added tax is charged on ATF consumption.Source : Business Standard

Professional Trading - Business like no other !!

My primary love is professional trading. That's what I do, that's what I breathe. Trading gives me passive income, my money is busy making money for me. It is my passion, however that is not my occupation. My job is somewhat of a missionary set out to educate people about the art of investing and trading. My job as a coach is to find talented people and make sure they learn and follow the fundamentals of the art. This is the goal I have set for myself. This is why I wake up every morning. This is why I sleep every night. However on this journey I encounter many people who come into trading having accumulated either a lot of money or a lot of dreams. I have seen a lot of doctors, lawyers, engineers, techies, accountants, architects and the like. All those professions require a lot of training to master the skills involved. You simply cannot go to a realtor without any proper training or qualification and say "I'd like to design this structure for you today." ...
