Stock Surge Drives Valuation Leadership

IndiGo’s market cap surge has been largely fuelled by a 35% rise in its share price from November 2024 lows. Year-to-date in 2025, the stock has risen 14%, distinguishing itself as the only top global airline to post a gain during the period. On 9 April 2025, InterGlobe Aviation share price hit an all-time high of Rs.5,265 during intraday trade, before closing at Rs.5,193.75 on the NSE.

Fleet Strength And Future Expansion

Although IndiGo ranks fourth globally in terms of fleet size with 439 aircraft (355 operational), it aims to strengthen its position through international expansion. The airline plans to grow its overseas capacity from 28% in FY25 to 40% by FY30. This growth focus aligns with its ambition to become a dominant player in both domestic and global air travel markets.

IndiGo’s elevation as the world’s most valuable airline marks a turning point for Indian aviation. Its steady share price performance, increasing global footprint, and strategic growth plans have boosted investor sentiment. As InterGlobe Aviation share price continues to reflect strong market confidence, IndiGo is now firmly positioned on the global aviation map, not just in scale but in financial value.
