Wearbear, unfortunately the Indian government does nothing but hinder the private carriers in India. Fuel is heavily taxed, airport fees in Delhi alone were allowed to be increased 775 percent, ticket prices are closely controlled by the government, most of the money provided to upgrade atc systems and airports is diverted to the politicians and their friends pockets causing much wasted fuel in orbits and delays on the ground as well as complete approaches even on nice days.
The government then reports delay stats in the papers, tv making the airlines responsible for said delay, fines are levied and votes gathered for a great cm who is looking out for the little guy.
FDI is being debated but who in there right mind would want to invest into a system like this.
The country just recently started to allow tanking fuel in from the gulf. Welcome to Indian aviation 101.
