Higher fuel costs for IndiGo likely to keep profits under pressure
IndiGo reported a fair FY26 but a weak first quarter of FY27. Higher fuel prices and lower aircraft use offset the fare hikes the airline took. Its market dominance, fleet expansion and international growth still offer long-term upside, yet high fuel costs keep margins under pressure.
