Shares of IndiGo and other travel-related stocks fell sharply following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to avoid non-essential foreign travel, overseas weddings, and discretionary spending to conserve fuel and foreign exchange amid rising crude oil prices and the West Asia conflict. The aviation sector faces margin pressures from higher fuel costs, currency depreciation, and reduced international bookings. Modi emphasized adopting responsible lifestyle choices and promoting domestic tourism to support the economy during global uncertainties.
