Why it matters

On Wednesday, the Indian government had stepped in to limit the impact of record-high jet fuel prices on airlines and air fares as Indian public sector oil companies have more than doubled the price of aviation turbine fuel.

Common ground

Prices in New Delhi have reached Rs 207,341.22 ($2,212 or €1,911) per kiloliter, Indian media reported, while the price of jet fuel for international flights has risen by 107%.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
