New Delhi, November 5, 2025 – IndiGo, the country’s largest carrier, reported a net loss of Rs 2,582.10 crore for the September quarter as heavy foreign exchange losses and rising costs weighed on results. The airline had recorded a smaller loss of Rs 986.7 crore in the same quarter last year. Management said hedging and growing receipts in foreign currencies from international flying should help moderate the currency volatility impact.
The carrier had delivered a profit of Rs 2,176.30 crore in the June quarter. Parent InterGlobe Aviation posted total income of Rs 19,599.5 crore for the quarter ended September, up from Rs 17,759 crore a year earlier. Ticket sales climbed 11.2% to Rs 15,966.7 crore while ancillary income rose 14.2% to Rs 2,141.1 crore, driving an overall 10.4% year-on-year increase in total income.
Stripping out the effects of currency swings, IndiGo reported a net profit of Rs 1,039 million versus a net loss of Rs 7,539 million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign exchange losses ballooned to Rs 2,892.1 crore, compared with Rs 240.6 crore previously. Other costs, including supplementary rentals and aircraft upkeep, jumped 18.9% to Rs 3,263 crore, and total quarter expenses rose 18.3% to Rs 22,081.2 crore.
CEO Pieter Elbers pointed to solid operations underpinning the results, noting that careful capacity allocation helped produce a 10% rise in topline revenue excluding currency impacts and delivered an operational profit of Rs 104 crore after a prior-year loss. He said the airline saw a rebound through August and September despite significant headwinds earlier in the year.
IndiGo continues to deepen its international footprint, bringing in aircraft via damp leases to keep up schedules. The number of aircraft on ground remains in the 40s and is expected to hold at that level through year-end. The carrier also faces slightly higher costs due to the rollout of phase two of revised pilot flight duty time limitation norms.
Looking ahead, IndiGo plans to induct its first long-range Airbus A321 XLR in December. Configured with 183 economy seats and 12 stretch seats, the plane will support new overseas routes and strengthen the airline’s long-haul offering. Alongside leased Boeing 787 Dreamliners, these additions are aimed at bolstering IndiGo’s international presence.
The airline held a 64.3% share of the domestic market in September. IndiGo shares slipped marginally, finishing at Rs 5,635 on the BSE. Despite the quarterly setback, management is upbeat about scaling operations and revenue in H2, forecasting capacity growth in the early teens.
