The Quarter story
The two most recent quarterly results, compared side-by-side.
Revenue and pricing power are strengthening, but soaring fuel costs and operational expenses are keeping profits under pressure.
Revenue from operations grew from ₹185,553 Cr to ₹245,841 Cr from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, driving strong top-line momentum.
Aircraft fuel expenses surged from ₹58,326 Cr to ₹108,329 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27, heavily pressuring margins.
Yield per RPK rose from ₹4.69 to ₹6.04 from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, confirming strong pricing power.
Fuel cost per ASK jumped from ₹1.38 to ₹2.49 from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27, severely impacting unit economics.
CASK ex fuel fell from ₹3.71 to ₹3.22 from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, showing effective non-fuel cost control.
PAT margin swung from -13.9% to -1.0% from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, reflecting persistent profitability challenges.
A321neo fleet count increased from 141 to 175 from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27, supporting efficient capacity expansion.
Total expenses climbed from ₹192,319 Cr to ₹258,525 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27, reflecting sustained operational spending.
Forex cost per ASK dropped from ₹0.70 to ₹0.02 from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, easing currency pressures on unit costs.
EBITDAR margin ex-forex fell from 20.5% to 16.5% from Q2 FY26 to Q1 FY27, revealing deteriorating core efficiency.
Company insights, generated from the most recent coverage.
IndiGo is absorbing roughly 30-40% of the Oct 2026 ATF increase rather than repricing it fully — a deliberate choice to protect volume and its 'low fare' brand over margin, accepting near-term EBITDA compression as the cost of holding share.
The tiered grid is an elasticity filter, not just a fuel-burn mirror. Flat surcharge would have pushed short-haul fares past the rail/bus substitution threshold; ₹375 on ≤500km keeps the charge below the demand-destruction point while ₹1,300 on >2000km recovers more from inelastic business traffic.
IndiGo raised fuel surcharges from Oct 6 2026 but deliberately under-recovered — management admits full offset needed a 'significantly larger increase'. The gap between actual ATF inflation and surcharge recovery is a margin drag that must be closed by yield or cost, not by the surcharge dial.
