IndiGo posts ₹382 crore Q1 loss as fuel costs surge 86%

IndiGo’s Q1 FY2027 revenue rose 20% to ₹24,584 crore, but an 86% jump in aircraft fuel costs, rupee weakness and West Asia disruptions pushed the airline into a ₹382 crore net loss. It expects September-quarter capacity to remain broadly flat year-on-year.

IndiGo reported a ₹382 crore Q1 FY2027 loss as an 86% jump in fuel costs, rupee depreciation and West Asia disruptions outweighed 20% revenue growth. The airline expects broadly flat September-quarter capacity amid weaker seasonal demand and regional travel uncertainty.

Why this matters

The loss extends IndiGo’s recent Q1 FY2027 pattern: earlier signals reported ₹238 crore and ₹237.6 crore losses as costs outpaced roughly 20% revenue growth.
