How much does a private jet cost?

Buying a private jet isn't cheap. The plane itself costs around ₹50 crore. Then, you have to pay for registration and bringing it to India. Add GST and customs duty, and that's another ₹20 to ₹22 crore. So, a private jet will set you back by over ₹70 crore by the time it lands here.

How much is the EMI per month?

Most billionaires pay the full amount at once. But if you take a loan, the EMI is huge. Say you pay ₹10 crore as a down payment and take a ₹40 crore loan. Banks will charge 9% to 11% interest. For a seven-year loan, you'll pay a monthly EMI of around ₹75 lakh!

The annual cost is staggering

Owning the jet is just the start. You need to spend ₹1 to ₹1.5 crore a year on salaries for two pilots and crew. Parking and insurance will cost another ₹1 crore. Add ₹50 lakh for annual repairs and software updates. Plus, every hour you fly costs ₹2 lakh for fuel and landing fees. In total, you're looking at ₹16 crore a year just for maintenance!
