IndiGo on Wednesday announced that it will revise fuel charges on domestic and international routes for all new bookings made from April 2, 2026. This comes after the government increased the prices of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).
"IATA’s Jet Fuel Monitor indicates over 130 per cent increase in fuel prices for the region on a month-on-month comparison. However, in support of air travellers and the aviation industry, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG) and the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) have decided to pass only a partial and staggered increase of 25 per cent to the airlines for domestic operations," the airline said.
The revised fuel charges will vary by distance, ranging from Rs 275 to Rs 10,000 on domestic and international flights from April 2.
