IndiGo's shares rose 1.9% following the release of Q2FY26 results, highlighting a 9.3% year-on-year revenue increase to ₹18,555 crore despite a reported net loss impacted by currency fluctuations. The airline’s strong passenger traffic and improving operational metrics buoy investor confidence.
InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, the parent company of IndiGo, witnessed its shares increase by 1.9% after announcing its Q2 financial results. The airline reported a net loss of ₹2,582 crore for Q2FY26, wider than the ₹988 crore loss in the same quarter last year, primarily due to adverse foreign exchange impacts.
However, revenue from operations rose 9.3% year-on-year to ₹18,555 crore driven by higher passenger traffic and increased ancillary income. Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) surged 85% to ₹3,472 crore, reflecting operational resilience and improved cost management.
CEO Pieter Elbers highlighted the company's focus on capacity optimization during weaker seasonal periods alongside robust customer appreciation and on-time performance leadership. Despite currency headwinds, operational parameters such as passenger yields and revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) improved, supporting a cautiously optimistic outlook.
