InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of IndiGo, on January 22 reported a sharp decline in its consolidated net profit for Q3 FY26. The airline posted a profit of Rs 549.8 crore, down 77.5 percent year-on-year, mainly due to exceptional items, new labour codes, and operational disruptions faced in December 2025. Despite profit pressure, revenue from operations showed steady growth during the quarter.

Revenue Sees Moderate Growth:
Revenue from operations rose 6 percent YoY to Rs 23,471.9 crore during the quarter.
Capacity and Passenger Update:
Capacity increased 11.2 percent YoY, while passenger numbers rose 2.8 percent to 3,190 crore.
