IndiGo said it will adjust its fuel surcharge starting October 6, with domestic fares rising by ₹100 to ₹350 depending on distance, while international ticket prices will also see a surcharge.
The announcement follows a month‑on‑month jet fuel price jump exceeding 14%, according to IndiGo's statement, marking the steepest rise in a decade.
Fuel costs comprise a significant portion of airline operating expenses; the company warned that the hike will affect its cost structure and network economics.
Passengers booking flights from October 6 will pay the higher surcharge, potentially adding up to ₹350 for longer domestic routes.
IndiGo will monitor fuel markets closely and may revise the surcharge again if prices continue to climb.
