Explained: Why you may soon hear Indian music on planes and in airports

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has written to Indian airlines and airport operators, urging them to play Indian music on board aircraft and on airport premises. This has come after a request from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) to the ministry, asking that Indian airlines play such music on their flights.

Airlines usually play standard piped music in aircraft at the time of boarding and de-boarding of passengers.
