<div>Amid the IndiGo flight disruptions that had pushed air ticket prices higher on many routes, the Government of India on Saturday introduced airfare caps. &nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>For five days in a row, IndiGo, the country's largest airline, has cancelled hundreds of flights, primarily due to crew woes.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>With a lesser number of flights, airfares on certain routes have surged. Taking a serious note of the situation, the civil aviation ministry said it has invoked regulatory powers to ensure fair and reasonable fares across all affected routes.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The limits will be in place till the situation stabilises, the ministry said in a statement.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>'An official directive has been issued to all airlines mandating strict adherence to the fare caps that have now been prescribed," it said.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Specific details about the airfare caps could not be immediately ascertained.</div>
