Regulation

Regulation covers the rules imposed on industries by bodies such as SEBI for markets, the RBI for banks, the DGCA for aviation and TRAI for telecom, on safety, pricing, competition and consumer protection.

Why It Matters

Good regulation protects customers; heavy or unpredictable regulation can stall investment.

In India

New DGCA rules on pilot rest in 2025 improved safety but exposed staffing gaps at IndiGo, leading to mass cancellations.
