Hyderabad : The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has restored User Development Fee (UDF) at the GMR group managed Rajiv Gandhi International Airport here following a high court order.

The GMR Group had challenged the order in the Hyderabad High Court. The company had requested the court to set aside the AERA's order and received a favourable order recently.

Accordingly UDF will be levied at RGIA, Shamshabad @ Rs 430 per embarking domestic passenger (exclusive of service tax) and @ Rs 1,700 per embarking international passenger (exclusive of service tax) with effect from November, 3. All other tariff/ charges prevailing prior to AERA dated 24-02-2014 shall remain unchanged," the DGCA notification said.
