IndiGo reached a record 66.3% June market share as Tata-owned Air India cut domestic and international capacity amid aircraft constraints. Akasa Air gained share to 6.4%, while Gulf-route disruptions continue to pressure Indian carriers.

Why this matters

The record June share extends IndiGo's 64.3% H1 domestic market share and follows its move to line up 1,000+ CFM engines, reinforcing its scale-led expansion as Air India curbs capacity.
