IndiGo and SpiceJet Rally Over 4%: Know Why


By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

Summary :

 

Airline stocks rallied on June 25, 2026, as crude oil prices fell to around $69 per barrel. IndiGo emerged as the top Nifty 50 gainer in early trade, while SpiceJet rose over 5%. Lower fuel costs are expected to support airline profitability and improve investor sentiment towards the sector.

Indigo

Over the past few months, India's aviation sector has had a difficult run. Rising fuel prices, operational disruptions, quarterly losses and tensions in the Middle East weighed on the sector. As a result, airline stocks remained under pressure.

That picture looks different today.

IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation Ltd) and SpiceJet Ltd witnessed strong buying interest on June 25, 2026. 

Crude Oil Drops to $69 per barrel

A major reason is the sharp fall in crude oil prices.

In March 2026, the price of crude oil was higher than $120 per barrel owing to worries in the Middle East region. The situation has since improved. Easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, along with stabilised shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, has helped bring prices lower. Crude oil is now trading near $69 per barrel. In fact, it is below the levels seen before the conflict began.

Why Airlines Care About Crude

For airlines, fuel is one of their highest costs. Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) can make up as much as 40% of operating expenses. When crude oil falls, fuel costs usually follow. That can help airlines protect their margins and improve earnings.

This is one reason investors have started looking at the sector more positively.

IndiGo Share Price Hits 2026 High

InterGlobe Aviation Ltd emerged as the top gainer in the Nifty 50 during early trade on June 25, 2026. On March 23, 2026, the company's share price had dropped to ₹3,895 after reporting an unexpected quarterly loss. Concerns around demand and costs also weighed on the stock.

Since then, investor sentiment has shifted. The stock moved above the ₹5,400 level and was trading at ₹5,440.30, gaining over 4% on June 25, 2026. That is its highest level of the year so far.

SpiceJet Up 5%

The gains were not limited to IndiGo.

SpiceJet's share price rose more than 5% during the session and was trading at ₹12.83.

Sector Outlook Improves

The rally in airline stocks shows how closely the sector is linked to fuel prices. A few months ago, rising crude oil prices were a major concern. Today, the conversation is different. Oil prices have cooled, and concerns around supply disruptions have eased.

For now, that is giving airline stocks some relief.
