IndiGo revises fuel charges amid rising ATF costs; airfares to soar


IndiGo will revise the fuel charges on domestic and international routes, for all new bookings made from today.

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 travellers 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

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:

Indian Subcontinent Upto 500 kms 900
