IndiGo Cancellations Slash Jet Fuel Sales by 4.1% in Dec; Other Fuels Soar

• IndiGo's mass flight cancellations led to a 4.1% drop in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) sales in the first half of December.
• The airline cancelled nearly 5,000 flights due to new pilot duty rules, crew shortages, and dense fog.
• ATF sales fell to 331,400 tonnes from 345,400 tonnes year-on-year, and 7.2% month-on-month.
• In contrast, petrol, diesel, and LPG sales showed robust growth during the same period.
• LPG sales surged by 15.1%, driven by household demand and the PMUY scheme adding 2.5 million new homes.

Why It Matters: IndiGo's flight disruptions significantly impacted jet fuel demand, while other fuel sectors thrived.
