Chartered flight or booking all tickets on a plane, what will cost you more in India?

India Today  

ICYMI, a man from Jakarta, on January 5, took social distancing to a whole new level by booking an entire flight for himself and his wife. The Batik Air flight that Muljadi took is a Boeing 737, and for the Jakarta to Bali route, per seat would cost anywhere around Rs 3,000. However, if one plans to charter a flight, it would cost them approximately Rs 5 lakh per hour, to do so - in India. So, if one takes a two-hour flight from Delhi to places such as Mumbai or Kolkata, a round-trip would approximately come up to Rs 20 lakh in a chartered flight. However, if you were to book maximum seats on an Airbus A320 instead, one that IndiGo airline flies, on the Delhi-Mumbai or Delhi-Kolkata route, it would cost somewhere around Rs 9 lakh.
