Mumbai, May 29 (IANS). IndiGo’s parent company InterGlobe Aviation on Friday reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 2,537 crore for the March quarter (fourth quarter) of the financial year 2025-26, while the company had a net profit of Rs 3,067.5 crore in the same quarter of the last financial year.
However, the airline’s income from operations during the quarter grew marginally by 1 per cent year-on-year at Rs 22,438 crore as against Rs 22,152 crore in the same period last year, according to exchange filings.
IndiGo said the company’s profitability was also impacted by a one-time charge of Rs 250 crore during the quarter.
The airline’s EBITDA stood at Rs 6,396 crore during the quarter, compared to Rs 5,953 crore in the same period last year.
However, there was a sharp decline in EBITDA margin to 3.6 per cent from 27.5 per cent a year ago. At the same time, EBITDA margin increased to 28.5 percent, which was 26.9 percent in the same quarter of the last financial year.
On an operational level, the airline said its capacity grew by 3.4 per cent to 43.6 billion available seat kilometers (ASK), despite disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
However, passenger numbers declined 1.1 percent year-on-year during the quarter to 31.6 million.
The company attributed the weak performance to the extremely challenging business environment during FY 2026.
Commenting on the results, InterGlobe Aviation CEO Rahul Bhatia said the year had been full of serious operational challenges, which had a major impact on the company’s profitability, although the airline’s core business remained strong.
He said, “FY26 was a year with a very challenging operating environment, which had a major impact on our profitability.”
He further said, “Despite these circumstances, the company’s core business performance remained strong. During the year, our capacity grew by 9.5 percent and total revenue grew by more than 6 percent.”
On Friday, shares of InterGlobe Aviation closed at Rs 4,418.40, down 3.27 per cent, on the BSE.
