InterGlobe Aviation Limited (IndiGo) has received orders from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) following operational disruptions that occurred between December 3rd and 5th, 2025. The DGCA has imposed financial penalties totaling ₹22.2 crore. This includes ₹1.80 crore in one-time systemic penalties for non-compliance with applicable Civil Aviation Requirements (CARs) and an additional ₹20.40 crore for continued non-compliance with revised FDTL CAR for 68 days, from December 5, 2025, to February 10, 2026.

In addition to the financial penalties, IndiGo is required to furnish a Bank Guarantee of ₹50 crore under the IndiGo Systemic Reform Assurance Scheme (ISRAS). The phased release of this guarantee is contingent upon the DGCA-verified implementation of systemic reform measures. The DGCA has also issued a caution to the Chief Executive Officer for inadequate oversight of flight operations and warnings to the Accountable Manager (Chief Operating Officer – COO) for failing to adequately assess the impact of the Winter Schedule 2025 and revised FDTL provisions.

Further actions include a warning to the Senior Vice President – Operations Control Centre (OCC), directing the company to relieve him of current operational responsibilities and not assign him any accountable position. Warnings have also been issued to the Deputy Head – Flight Operations, AVP – Crew Resource Planning, and Director – Flight Operations for various operational, supervisory, and roster-management related lapses. The non-adherence to directions issued under Rule 133A of the Aircraft Rules, 1937, is cited as the violation. The company has noted that it restored normal operations quickly after the December disruptions and anticipates no further material impact on other business activities.
