Interglobe Aviation Shares in Focus as DGCA Launches Probe into Major Service Disruptions

Thursday, 4 December 2025: InterGlobe Aviation shares came under pressure during Thursday morning trading following the launch of a DGCA probe. The airline is facing a formal investigation after a series of service disruptions that affected its network over the past week. The probe, triggered by hundreds of flight delays and over 200 cancellations, has raised investor concerns about the airline’s operational stability and its stock performance.

At 11:15 AM, the share of InterGlobe Aviation traded at ₹5,523.00 (1.30% lower than the previous closing price). 

DGCA Ask Company to Submit Reason for Delay and Failure

The DGCA asked the company to submit a formal explanation for Wednesday’s service failure. The authority has also demanded to submit a plan of action for mitigating similar occurrences in the future. The airline has faced increased strain on its operations due to the expansion of the network as air travel demand reaches its peak during the winter months, which has been hampered since the launch of the investigation.

More Than 200 Flights Cancelled, Hundreds Delayed

The airline had witnessed extensive operational stress, and more than 200 flights of the major airports were cancelled and hundreds more were postponed this week. IndiGo had the lowest proportion of on-time departures as less than one third of its total flights departed at the designated time.

IndiGo Blamed Tech Malfunction and Weather for Delays

The company, through an official response, blamed the recently introduced pilot rest and duty-hours rules, erratic weather and overall congestion in air traffic as the most important factors behind the delay. 

Share Price Movement

At 11.15 am, the InterGlobe Aviation Shares were trading 5,523.00 (1.30% lower than the previous closing price). Since last week, the shares of InterGlobe Aviation have declined by about 5.5%. Today, the share price opened at ₹5,520 and has been ranging between ₹5,573 and ₹5,405 so far. 

Technical indicators suggest weakening momentum, with the RSI around 38.9 and the stock trading below 7 of 8 simple moving averages, signalling a long-term bearish bias.

Investor Confidence at Stake

With the DGCA probe underway, IndiGo must present a credible mitigation plan and demonstrate swift improvements in operational performance to restore passenger confidence and stabilise its share price. The coming days will be critical for the airline.
