Maharashtra Chief Minister, Mr Prithviraj Chavan has indicated that the State Government may share an “equitable burden” with the Centre to provide relief to the aviation sector by reducing sales tax on aviation turbine fuel (ATF). “The country needs a very robust aviation sector, and a developed state like Maharashtra needs it much more than a state like Mizoram or Manipur,” Mr Chavan said here. “It is clear that the aviation industry is bleeding. Always, when they (airlines) come to us, they request us for lower ATF rates,” he said while interacting with reporters at his official residence here two days ago.
