India’s largest airline, IndiGo, is under a detailed CCI investigation following widespread December 2025 flight cancellations that affected 9.82 lakh passengers.
The airline reportedly spent ₹22 crore on refunds, rebookings, and passenger facilitation. The CCI is examining whether IndiGo abused its 65% domestic market dominance, restricting services and harming competition.
The probe comes alongside DGCA fines of ₹22.20 crore and directives for a ₹50-crore bank guarantee. Following the announcement, IndiGo shares fell nearly 4%, reflecting investor concern over regulatory and operational risks.
