NEW DELHI: A weaker rupee has led to indiGo reporting a loss of Rs 2,582 crore in July-Sept quarter, as opposed to a loss of 987 in Q2 last fiscal. In Q1 of this fiscal, the airline had reported a profit of Rs 2,176 crore.
The airline’s scrip closed at Rs 5,637.3 on BSE Tuesday, down 1.02% when the broader marker was down 0.6%. For the seasonally travel-wise weak Q2, it reported a total revenue of Rs 19,599.5 crore, 10% more than same period last year.IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said:
“
Our optimised capacity deployment has enabled us to deliver a 10% growth in topline revenue and excluding impact of currency movement, an operational profit of Rs 104 crore as compared to an operational loss last year.
As India’s aviation sector continues to grow and mature, we recognise the importance of structurally optimising capacity during seasonally weaker periods to sustain profitability.”“The year began with significant external challenges across the industry, but we saw stabilisation in July and a strong recovery through August and Sept. Looking ahead, we have scaled up our operational plans for the second half to meet demand and continue driving growth.
With that we have nudged up our capacity guidance for full financial year 2026 to early teens growth,” Elbers added.IndiGo had a total cash balance of Rs 53,515.2 crore and its capitalised operating lease liability was Rs 49,651.4 crore as on Sept 1, 2025. On that date, its total debt (including the capitalised operating lease liability) was Rs 74,813.8 crore. The airline had a fleet of 417 aircraft this Sept-end and it had a peak of 2,244 daily flights during the quarter including non-scheduled flights.
