Strategic Profile

IndiGo is amongst the fastest growing low-cost carriers in the world. As of FY24, IndiGo has a market share of ~62% in the Indian aviation segment and ~18% in the international passenger segment. The company faces near-term operational challenges from recent compliance issues but maintains a strong long-term trajectory with fleet expansion and network growth.

Cyborg Score Rationale

FY2025 revenue increased 17.27% to 808.03 billion INR, demonstrating strong growth. However, net loss widened to Rs 2,582.1 crore in Q2 FY26 and operational disruptions in late 2025 impacted profitability and market confidence.
