IndiGo Considers Fare Increases to Offset Rising Fuel Costs, CEO Says
IndiGo reported a loss of Rs 1,879.1 crore in the September quarter due to rising fuel costs and rupee depreciation. CEO Willie Walsh said the airline has limited options to cut costs further and may raise airfares to offset the significant increase in its fuel bill. Despite the challenges, IndiGo's efficient cost structure and strong liquidity provide some flexibility. The airline aims to minimize fare hikes while managing elevated operating expenses amid volatile fuel prices and geopolitical tensions.
