New Delhi -- Airline regulators in India said domestic carriers had asked for rate hikes that were too high, calling executives to meet to explain the price proposals.
"There was an extraordinary hike in fares during the Diwali vacation. We do not want that to be repeated during Christmas," Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said.
Patel said there was "no justification" for the new fares, the Press Trust of India reported Friday.
On the merits -- or lack of merits -- of the price hike proposal, the Civil Aviation agency set up an Economic Advisory Council to monitor and advise the agency on industry finances.

New Delhi -- Indian conservation experts say the simple mapping of tiger paw prints and their droppings could help save the critically endangered species economically.
Currently, wildlife agencies spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-tech camera systems to monitor the presence of tigers at sites to determine whether numbers are rising or falling, and to locate the strongholds that should be protected, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
Indian experts now say mapping paw prints and feces produces results that are just as good as using cameras, costs less than a tenth of what's spent on camera equipment and takes a third of the time.

New Delhi -- An auditor's report in India said telecommunication regulators had mishandled $40 billion, causing a furor throughout the government.
Without an accusation that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was directly involved in the scandal, the Supreme Court, nonetheless, admonished the prime minister for failing to investigate the matter more thoroughly, The New York Times reported Friday.
The report, which caused Telecommunications Minister A. Raja to resign, said sales of airwave spectrum rights dating back to 2006 "lacked transparency and fairness."
In response, Kapil Sibal, an interim minister of telecommunications, said 69 of 130 airwave licenses may need to be revoked.

New Delhi -- A crisis in India involving endangered owl species has some putting the blame at the feet of the Harry Potter books and movies, environmentalists say.
India's Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh says the country's population has become infatuated with owls as a result of the book series and films, and many parents have bought wild owls from illegal bird traders to give to their children as pets, LiveScience.com reported Wednesday.
"Following Harry Potter, there seems to be a strange fascination even among the urban middle classes for presenting their children with owls," Ramesh said.
Owls are featured in the books and films delivering mail to Harry and the other young wizards.
