IndiGo Flies High with Record Profit Amid Booming Air Travel Demand

InterGlobe Aviation, IndiGo's parent company, announced record profits for Q4, driven by soaring air travel demand. Profit soared 62% to over Rs 3,067 crore while revenue increased due to a rise in passengers. IndiGo navigated challenges like airspace restrictions smoothly and anticipates capacity growth in FY 2026.

InterGlobe Aviation, parent of IndiGo, reported a record fourth-quarter post-tax profit of Rs 3,067.5 crore, a 62% increase over the previous year. This remarkable growth is attributed to a surge in air travel demand.
