IndiGo Reports Rs 1,879 Crore 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 aviation fuel costs and rupee depreciation, despite a 26% rise in revenue. CEO Willie Walsh said the airline has limited options to cut costs further and must raise airfares to offset the significant increase in fuel expenses. IndiGo plans to manage capacity prudently, focusing on short-haul routes and expects elevated fuel prices to persist, impacting profitability and ticket prices in the near term.
