Outgoing aviation secretary Pradeep Kharola, who retires on September 30, said the Ministry of Civil Aviation is working towards gradually removing caps on airfare and capacity. In an interview with India Today TV, Pradeep Kharola spoke about many plans including drone taxis, caps of airfares and capacity and the much-awaited Air India disinvestment.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MCA) recently went live with the Airspace map, earmarking green, yellow and red zones for civil drone operations in the country. This came in the wake of fresh drone use rules that were notified on 26 August.
