New Delhi, January 19, 2026:
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has imposed a ₹22.2 crore fine on IndiGo Airlines for repeated violations related to flight delays, crew duty-time limits and passenger inconvenience. The regulator also directed the airline to submit a ₹50 crore bank guarantee, warning that stricter action may follow if compliance lapses continue.
Aviation officials said the move underscores the regulator’s zero-tolerance approach towards safety and operational discipline. IndiGo has been asked to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms and ensure adherence to aviation norms, especially during peak travel periods.
