IndiGo Posts ₹6,618 Cr Operating Profit in Q3 FY25

IndiGo delivered a strong performance in the third quarter of FY25, supported by strong demand and lower costs. The airline benefited from the festive season, year-end travel, and an increase in consumer spending, which boosted ticket sales. Additionally, lower fuel prices and reduced rental expenses contributed to the improved financial results.

The company reported revenues of ₹22,210 crore, marking a 13.7% increase compared to the same period last year and a 30% rise compared to the previous quarter. Passenger traffic grew by 13% YoY, reflecting strong demand for air travel.

Operational efficiency also improved during the quarter. IndiGo’s load factors, which indicate the percentage of seats filled on flights, increased by 120 basis points to reach 86.5%. The airline’s standalone operating profit, excluding foreign exchange losses, stood at ₹6,618 crore. This was supported by higher revenue per available seat kilometer and improved yields.

IndiGo is steadily growing its international presence, with overseas operations now contributing 10% of its total revenue. During the quarter, the airline added 4 new international destinations and plans to expand to a total of 40 such locations by 2025.

On the domestic front, IndiGo continued to strengthen its network by introducing 2 new destinations and adding 50 new routes during the quarter. This expansion reflects the airline’s commitment to enhancing connectivity within India.

Looking ahead, IndiGo remains positive about its growth prospects. While short-term performance may be influenced by airfare trends, the airline is focused on addressing operational challenges, including reducing the number of grounded aircraft by 40% by FY26.
