Rising ATF (Air Turbine Fuel) Costs Force IndiGo to Revise Fuel Charges

Chandigarh, 1 April 2026: IndiGo will revise the Fuel Charges on domestic and international routes, for all new bookings made after 0001 hrs on 02 April 2026.
 
IATA’s Jet Fuel Monitor indicates over 130% increase in fuel prices for the region on a month-on-month comparison. However, in support of air travelers and the aviation industry, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG) and Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) have decided to pass only a partial and staggered increase of 25% to the airlines for domestic operations. With this clarity, IndiGo has also re-calibrated its domestic Fuel Charge to vary by different travel distances. All domestic bookings made from 0001 hrs on 02 April 2026 will include the following revised fuel charges per sector.
 
Routes
Revised Fuel Charge
(in INR)
0 – 500 kms
275
501 – 1,000 kms
400
1001 – 1,500 kms
600
1501 – 2,000 kms
800
Above 2,000
950
 
IndiGo is thankful to the Government for timely intervention, without which April 2026 fuel cost increases would have severely impacted affordability of domestic air travel.
 
For International Operations, ATF prices have more than doubled in the last month, consequentially driving a significant impact on the airline’s operating costs on these routes. All international bookings made from 0001 hrs on 02 April 2026 will include the following revised fuel charges, per sector:
 
Routes
Revised Fuel Charge
(in INR)
Indian Subcontinent
Upto 500 kms
900
Above 500 kms
2,500
GCC & Middle East
Upto 2,000 kms
3,000
Above 2,000 kms
5,000
Southeast Asia
and China
Upto 2,000 kms
3,500
Above 2,000 kms
5,000
Africa
 
5,000
Greece and Turkey
 
7,500
UK & Europe (other than Greece and Turkey)
10,000
 
Although fully offsetting the fuel price increase would require substantial fare revisions, IndiGo has passed on a relatively smaller amount to customers keeping in mind the consequential burden on them.
 
IndiGo regrets the inconvenience resulting from this fuel charge and reiterates that the measure has been driven by a sudden and substantial change in the operating environment. IndiGo will continue to monitor the situation and make relevant adjustments as and when appropriate. IndiGo remains committed to giving wings to the nation by offering affordable, convenient and consistent travel to customers.
