IndiGo appointed deputy CFO Kiran Thadimarri as CFO, replacing Gaurav Negi, who will advise MD Rahul Bhatia from July 28. The airline also plans to appeal a ₹1.14 crore customs penalty and said it expects no material business impact.

Why this matters

The succession follows IndiGo's recent CFO-transition signals, including Thadimarri's appointment and Negi's move to an MD advisor role. Another recent signal links the CFO change to IndiGo's planned customs-duty appeal.
