Modi Govt to Lok Sabha: IndiGo Sole Major Airline Profitable in FY25

  • IndiGo was the sole major Indian airline to report a profit in FY25, earning Rs 7,253 crore, as revealed by Modi government data in Lok Sabha.
  • Most other Indian airlines, including Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air, and SpiceJet, recorded significant losses in FY25.
  • Despite a 7.7% growth in domestic passenger traffic in FY25, high debt and operating costs continue to strain the financial health of many carriers.
  • IndiGo's dominant market share (nearly 65%) means its operational crisis, caused by crew shortages and new duty-time regulations, severely impacts passengers with limited alternatives.
  • IndiGo's FY25 profit marks a significant turnaround from a Rs 316 crore loss in FY23, while other major airlines continued to struggle financially.

Why It Matters: IndiGo's dominance amid rivals' losses limits your flight choices and service quality.
