IndiGo posted a ₹382 crore June-quarter loss as fuel costs surged 86%, though revenue rose 20% on higher fares. Brokerages retained Buy ratings, citing resilient passenger demand and pricing power while flagging crude, forex and geopolitical risks.

Why this matters

The June-quarter loss follows a prior signal on IndiGo’s ₹238 crore Q1 loss tied to an 86% fuel-cost rise. It also comes as IndiGo warns that airport operators owning airlines could create conflicts of interest.

The retail-company theme is accelerating, up 1,078,900% QoQ.
