India is planning to update its rules governing fractional aircraft ownership, a move aimed at making private and business aviation more accessible and better regulated.
Fractional ownership allows multiple individuals or companies to share ownership of an aircraft, reducing costs while still offering flexibility and convenience. Modernising the framework is expected to provide clearer guidelines on operations, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
The proposed changes are part of a broader effort to support the growth of general and business aviation in the country. Clearer rules could encourage more companies and high‑net‑worth individuals to consider shared aircraft ownership.
Business aviation plays an important role in improving connectivity, especially to smaller cities and industrial centres. Updated regulations may also help attract investment and professional management into the sector.
The move reflects India’s wider push to align its aviation policies with global practices while supporting long‑term growth across different segments of the industry.
