Lack or competition.

GoFirst is in a Coma. Spicejet is in the ICU. Akasa pilots deserted them. Air India is being rebooted. Transformation is slow. Vistara doesn't have a wide enough network. Indigo is the only standing (flying) airline.

Diwali + chhath. Highly seasonal. You won't see this trend throughout the year.

If question is why are the prices high this month in comparison to other Months in this year - it's seasonal time. It's always high for past couple of years.

If you are asking why it's steadily rising for couple of years - we have one of the costliest airline fuels(ATF). To learn more - https://youtu.be/_JnjyPlFh7c?feature=shared
