IndiGo Share Price Decline After Government Orders Airlines to Cut Flights by 10 percent

10 December 2025: The share price of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd (IndiGo) (INE646L01027 ) fell 3.26% in Wednesday’s trade after the airline was directed by the government to trim its domestic winter schedule by 10%. 

The order was issued within hours after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) directed a reduction of 5% earlier in the day, which was doubled to 10% by the Civil Aviation Ministry over concerns of operational lapses and non-adherence to crew norms. 

The decline came even as IndiGo gave assurance that it would gradually reinstate operations across the network after days of getting improvement.

Key Details 

Earlier in the day, the DGCA had imposed a 5% reduction on IndiGo’s sanctioned winter schedule, stating that the airline had “not demonstrated” the ability to smoothly operate its 15,014 weekly flights. IndiGo was instructed to scale down flights on all sectors, particularly on those that are high-demand, high-frequency routes, and to avoid single-flight operation on any sector.

After a couple of hours, the Ministry of Civil Aviation stepped in and raised the cut to 10%. The Ministry said that IndiGo had failed to adequately manage its operational resources, such as aircraft and pilot crew. It also requested the DGCA to modify its show cause notice and issue a fresh notice to IndiGo.
