🌍 India / Asia Angle
India's government-backed credit guarantee scheme directly targets domestic aviation liquidity stress, potentially buffering SpiceJet and IndiGo from West Asia route disruptions that are also pressuring other Asian carriers exposed to Middle East corridors.
🌊 Ripple Effects

- ▸Indian banking sector — Mixed; lenders under ECLGS 5.0 gain partial guarantee cover but face continued airline credit exposure
- ▸Regional aviation peers (Air Arabia, flydubai) — Bearish pressure persists from West Asia geopolitical disruptions unaddressed by Indian policy
🔭 What to Watch Next
