This framework replaces the Aircraft Rules, 1937, and will come into effect on January 1, 2027. The new rules cover several aspects of civil aviation, including aircraft registration, safety certification, maintenance, and flight operations.

The notification was met with market attention, as shares of InterGlobe Aviation climbed nearly 5 per cent over two trading sessions, supported by the regulatory news and a decline in crude oil prices.
