The cost of a Private Pilot License (PPL) course in India can vary a lot depending on the flight school aircraft type training hours and facilities.
Most sources say that total course fees for PPL in India fall roughly between INR10 lakhs to INR20 lakhs.
Some schools quote slightly lower around INR8-12 lakhs for the core training (ground classes + basic flight hours) not including extra costs.
On the higher side depending on aircraft type and additional flight hours, fees may even go beyond INR20 lakhs.
So in simple terms PPL course fee in India is typically INR10-20 lakhs although for some institutes it might be a bit less if the training hours are fewer or the aircraft simpler.
The fee usually includes ground school theory classes flight training for a set number of hours installation or registration charges basic materials (books maybe uniform) and licensing or exam charges.
However, actual cost can increase due to:
Additional flight hours beyond the standard training requirement.
Extra costs like medical examination GST/fees re exams aircraft rental fuel charges etc.
Optional expenses like hostel or accommodation (if the institute offers) transport and other personal expenses.
If you plan to take PPL in India be ready to budget roughly INR10-20 lakhs. If you select a basic course and modest flight hours costs may stay on the lower side. But if you demand high quality infrastructure or extra flying hours expect the cost to increase. It's always wise to check all details (flight hours included extra charges hidden components) before committing.
