The Market Share (%) of Scheduled Indian Carriers versus Foreign Carriers in Terms of Domestic Market RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometers) and Passengers Carried in India reflects how Indian-based airlines and international carriers divide the country’s air travel market based on both traffic volume and operational performance. This indicator provides insights into the competitive dynamics of India’s aviation industry, showcasing the dominance of domestic airlines in serving the internal passenger network, while also highlighting the contribution of foreign carriers in connecting India to global destinations. Indian carriers such as IndiGo, Air India, Vistara, and Akasa Air continue to capture a substantial share of domestic market demand, supported by strong route networks, competitive pricing, and government initiatives like the UDAN scheme, which promotes regional connectivity.

Analyzing the market share distribution between Indian and foreign carriers is crucial for understanding the structural composition and competitiveness of the aviation market. It helps identify how effectively Indian airlines are leveraging their capacity and networks compared to global competitors. A higher share for Indian carriers in domestic RPK and passenger carriage indicates self-reliance and market maturity, reflecting the strength of national carriers in meeting domestic demand. Conversely, foreign carrier participation signals India’s increasing global integration and the attractiveness of its aviation sector for international players. This data is vital for policy formulation, infrastructure planning, and assessing the impact of liberalization in the Indian aviation market.
