India - Aircraft age limitations

I understand there is a 15 year age limit for commercial airliners in India. Does this age limit also apply to regional/turbo prop aircraft?

Any links to official websites appreciated

Clause 5.3

Quote:

5.3 Pressurised aircraft to be imported for scheduled operations by regional
airlines shall not be more than 15 years in age or have completed 75
percent of its design economic life or 45,000 pressurisation cycles
whichever is earlier. However, this requirement will not be applicable for
acquisition of Indian registered aircraft maintained in accordance with DGCA
requirements
