The country’s largest airline IndiGo on Friday reported a loss of Rs 2,536.9 crore in the three months ending March 2026 due to challenging operating conditions, rupee depreciation and other factors.
The airline had made a profit of Rs 3,067.5 crore in the same period a year ago.
According to a release, total income increased by over 3 per cent to Rs 23,830.7 crore in the fourth quarter of FY 2025-26 from Rs 23,097.5 crore in the same period a year ago.
“An exceptionally sharp depreciation of the rupee, changes in labor laws and challenging operating environment eroded operating profit and the company reported a net loss of Rs 23,936 million,” the release said.
IndiGo Managing Director Rahul Bhatia said FY2026 was marked by an exceptionally challenging operating environment, which impacted its profitability.
“During the year, our capacity grew by 9.5 per cent and total income grew by over 6 per cent. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and extraordinary items, IndiGo made a profit of Rs 75 billion,” he said.
The airline’s domestic market share in March was 63.3 percent.
IndiGo shares closed 3.27 per cent lower at Rs 4,418.40 on BSE.
