Implications for IndiGo and the Indian Aviation Market

IndiGo's acquisition of A350-900 planes equips the airline to operate non-stop flights on long routes, directly challenging competitors like Air India and international carriers on lucrative routes such as India-US, India-Australia, and India-Europe.

This strategic move follows a series of significant aircraft orders in India, including Tata-run Air India Group's order for 470 planes and IndiGo's order of 500 A320neo family planes, indicating robust growth in the Indian aviation sector.

Additionally, the order includes purchase rights for an additional 70 Airbus A350 family aircraft, further highlighting IndiGo's long-term expansion plans and confidence in the future demand for air travel.

Market Dominance Amid Challenges

Despite challenges such as aircraft grounding, IndiGo maintained a robust market share of approximately 60% in the fourth quarter of FY 2023-24. According to industry data, IndiGo experienced a sequential increase in market share by 40 basis points in March 2024, despite an estimated grounding of 55 to 70 aircraft during this period.

IndiGo's partnership with Archer Aviation aims to revolutionise air travel with an all-electric air taxi service, scheduled to be operational by 2026. The service promises quick transportation, covering distances in less than 7 minutes, at an estimated cost of ₹2,000-3,000 per passenger.
