InterGlobe Aviation, also known as IndiGo, reported a whopping 62% increase in net profit for the March 2025 quarter, reaching Rs 3067.5 crore compared to Rs 1895 crore in the same period last year. The airline’s revenue also saw a significant rise of 24.27%, reaching Rs 22,151 crore in Q4 compared to Rs 17,825 crore year-on-year. IndiGo declared a dividend of Rs 10 per share, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Despite the challenges faced by the aviation industry, IndiGo managed to achieve a remarkable 31.4% EBITDAR margin, with EBITDAR amounting to Rs 6948.2 crore. This is a substantial increase from the previous year’s EBITDAR of Rs 4,412.3 crore, which had a margin of 24.8%. The airline’s capacity surged by 21.0% to 42.1 billion, while the number of passengers increased by 19.6% to 31.9 million in the last quarter alone. Over the entire fiscal year, capacity grew by 13.1% to 157.5 billion, with passengers reaching 118.6 million, an 11.1% increase from the previous year.
In contrast to the rise in revenue, net profit for the entire fiscal year dipped to Rs 7258.4 crore, down from Rs 8172.5 crore the year before. However, the revenue for the year showed a positive growth of 17.3%, reaching Rs 80,802.9 crore. Pieter Elbers, the CEO of IndiGo, expressed pride in the company’s financial performance, attributing it to the high levels of operational efficiency, agility, and commitment demonstrated by the employees. He extended his gratitude to the 118.6 million customers who showed trust in IndiGo throughout the fiscal year.
Maybe it’s just me, but the aviation sector seems to be facing some turbulent times, yet IndiGo managed to soar above the challenges with its impressive financial results. The significant increase in net profit and revenue reflects the airline’s ability to adapt and thrive in a competitive industry. With a dividend announcement and a strong EBITDAR margin, IndiGo has certainly made its mark in the aviation market. As passenger numbers continue to rise, it will be interesting to see how IndiGo maintains its growth trajectory in the coming years.
