IndiGo shares rise 2% after India’s largest airline hikes excess baggage and priority service prices
InterGlobe Aviation, IndiGo’s operator, raised charges for domestic ancillary services, including infant travel, excess baggage and priority check-in and boarding. The revisions increase passenger costs beyond base fares. IndiGo had reported a Rs 238 crore Q1 FY27 loss amid higher fuel expenses, despite strong revenue growth and expanding domestic and international operations.
Shares of India's largest airline, IndiGo, surged 2% on Friday to their day high of Rs 4,943 on the BSE after the company raised prices for several ancillary services. These changes include a fee for infants traveling with an accompanying adult, now costing Rs 3,000 instead of Rs 2,000. Additionally, the excess baggage fee has been increased to Rs 800 per kg, up from Rs 700 per kg.
The priority check-in and boarding service fee has also been raised to Rs 650 from Rs 450. These revised charges, which are applied in addition to the base ticket price, affect domestic flights and add to the various costs passengers might incur beyond the headline fare.
