Aviation stocks came under pressure after the report that India’s Airlines industry may have to bear an additional tax burden of up to Rs 15,000 crore annually once the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is implemented. The additional tax burden may push airlines, most of which have turned profitable, into losses again, coming as it does at a time when global fuel prices are flaring up.
