IndiGo Q1 Results: Net Profit drops 20% to ₹2,176.3 crore; revenue up 4.7%
The consolidated revenue of the company rose 4.7 percent to ₹ 20,496.3 crore in the June 2025 quarter from ₹ 19,571 crore in Q1FY25 in the quarter under review.
IndiGo reported a modest 0.66 percent increase in EBITDA at ₹ 5,866.3 crore for the quarter ended June 2025, compared to ₹ 5,828 crore in the same period last year. However, EBITDA margin declined to 28.6 percent from 30 percent a year ago, reflecting pressure on profitability. The airline's yield also dropped 5 percent year-on-year to ₹ 4.98 per kilometre, indicating a softer pricing environment.
Commenting on the performance, Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, said the June quarter was marked by significant external headwinds impacting the entire aviation sector. "Despite these industry-wide disruptions, we reported a net profit of ₹ 2,176.3 crore, with a net profit margin of around 11 percent for Q1FY26," he said.
Elbers noted that although the revenue environment witnessed some moderation, demand for air travel remained strong. The airline served over 31 million passengers during the quarter, a 12 percent year-on-year growth. 'Looking forward, we remain optimistic about the growth of air travel and with our scale, network and fit-for-purpose fleet, we remain committed to serving the growing demand,' he added.
IndiGo reported an 11.6 percent year-on-year rise in the number of passengers carried, reaching 3.1 crore in the first quarter of FY26. The airline also expanded its capacity by 16.4 percent during the same period, taking the total available seat kilometres to 4,230 crore.
As of June 30, 2025, IndiGo's fleet stood at 416 aircraft, comprising 28 A320 CEOs (including 2 on damp lease), 187 A320 NEOs, 141 A321 NEOs, 48 ATRs, 3 A321 freighters, 2 B777s (damp lease), 6 B737s (damp lease), and 1 B787 (damp lease). The airline witnessed a net reduction of 18 passenger aircraft during the quarter.
IndiGo operated a peak of 2,269 daily flights in Q1 FY26, including non-scheduled operations. It offered scheduled services across 91 domestic and 41 international destinations during the period.

Passenger traffic at Coimbatore airport crosses 9.5 lakh in a quarter for first time
Coimbatore: The city airport has recorded a 21% increase in passenger traffic in the first quarter of the current financial year compared to the same period last fiscal. And in a milestone, passenger traffic crossed the 9.5 lakh mark for the first time in a quarter. As per the data released by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), the city airport handled 9,51,249 passengers from April 1 to June 30, against 7,83,281 in the corresponding period last fiscal. The growth was primarily driven by a surge in international passenger traffic, which rose by 49% to 80,976 from 54,403 in the first quarter of 2024-25 financial year. Domestic passenger traffic also recorded a 19% increase to 8,70,273 from 7,28,378 during the period under discussion. The AAI noted that this was the highest growth recorded in a quarter for passenger traffic at Coimbatore airport. At 3,089 metric tonnes, freight movement too registered a 19% increase in the first quarter of this fiscal from 2,596 metric tonnes in the same period last financial year. This growth was driven by a 45% increase in international freight, which rose to 575 metric tonnes from 398 metric tonnes. Domestic freight also increased by 14% to 2,513 metric tonnes from 2,198 metric tonnes during the period under discussion. Airport officials attributed the growth in both passenger and freight traffic to increased connectivity. "The launch of international flights by IndiGo to Abu Dhabi and Singapore contributed to the growth in international passenger and freight traffic. On the domestic front, the addition of daily IndiGo flights to Mumbai, Bengaluru and Goa contributed to the rise in the passenger and freight movement," said an official at the city airport. J Sathish, director, Kongu Global Forum, said the first quarter performance of the city airport was impressive and demonstrated its true potential. "It recorded one of the highest growth percentages in the country." He, however, cautioned that the momentum might not continue into the second quarter, owing to curtailment of flight services. "From July 1, Air India flights to Mumbai and Chennai and IndiGo flights to Mumbai and Chennai were discontinued. As a result, passengers now have fewer options, and this situation has led to a drop in passenger numbers in July. Fares have also increased compared to the previous quarter," he said and urged authorities to reinstate these flight services immediately. "Air India Express has strong connectivity to Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad from several airports in South India. However, it is yet to commence operations from Coimbatore," Sathish said.
