IndiGo Reports Quarterly Loss, Plans Fare Hikes Amid Rising Fuel Costs
IndiGo reported a net loss of Rs 1,879.1 crore in the September quarter due to a 67% surge in fuel costs and rupee depreciation, despite a 26% rise in revenue supported by higher ticket prices. CEO Willie Walsh stated the airline has limited options but to raise fares to offset soaring fuel expenses, while maintaining efforts to minimize increases. IndiGo's efficient cost structure and strong liquidity provide some flexibility amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and volatile fuel prices expected to persist.
