, the parent company of
online travel aggregator
Ixigo, saw its operating revenue increase by 73 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 314 crore for the quarter ended June on account of growth across all lines of business, effective cross-selling and up-selling to its user base, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven efficiency.
The company posted a net profit of Rs 19 crore for the quarter, marking a 27 per cent rise from Rs 15 crore in the same period last year. According to group CFO Saurabh Devendra Singh, this factors in certain one-off items, including a Rs 2 crore share of loss from associate company Fresh Bus, whereas Q1FY25 had included revaluation gains and other adjustments.
"If I were to compare on a like-for-like basis by excluding all these items in both periods, our profit before tax would have increased by 76.2 per cent from Rs 16.2 crore to Rs 28.7 crore," said Singh.
The company's total expenses, however, rose to Rs 293 crore in the June quarter from Rs 168 crore in the same period last year. A significant amount of the expenditure was attributed to employee benefits and other expenses.
"Q1 FY26 had a few events that impacted the aviation market in India and the region," said Aloke Bajpai, cofounder and chief executive, during a post-earnings analysts call on Wednesday. This includes Operation Sindoor and the resulting airspace closures in North India, the recent AI171 crash, airspace shutdowns in Pakistan, disruptions in the Middle East during the Iran-Israel tensions, and Air India's voluntary reduction of international wide-body flights for safety checks.

EPFO alert: New rule makes family eligible for Rs 50000 payout if PF holder dies even if Death balance in fund is less than…
Home Business EPFO alert: New rule makes family eligible for Rs 50000 payout if PF holder dies even if Death balance in fund is less than… EPFO alert: New rule makes family eligible for Rs 50000 payout if PF holder dies even if Death balance in fund is less than… EPFO's new move is seen as a big step forward in strengthening the social security net for employees and their dependents. (File/Representational) The Ministry of Labour and Employment has notified the Employees' Deposit-Linked Insurance (Amendment) Scheme, 2025, has updated the policy in which they are easing the eligibility criteria for insurance benefits under the EPFO. As per the new notification, in the unfortunate event of an EPF member's death, a minimum assurance benefit of Rs 50,000 will now be payable to the family, even if the employee's average provident fund balance is less than Rs 50,000. This will be applicable to members of both regular EPF and those covered under exempted provident funds under Section 17 of the EPF Act. EPFO New Rules: The benefit applies even if the employee dies during the preceding 12 months or still in service. To qualify for the benefit, a continuous service of 12 months was required. However, the EPFO has clarified that a gap of up to 60 days between two periods of employment will not break continuity and multiple services will be counted as one. If a member dies within six months of the last PF contribution while still on the employer's payroll, the family is still eligible for the Rs 50000 benefit under the amended scheme. EPFO Old Rule VS New Rule Earlier, families of employees who passed away within a year of joining were not eligible for EDLI insurance benefits. After this amendment, the scheme now will give minimum financial support of Rs 50,000 to the bereaved families and much-needed relief during difficult times.
