The airline’s shares touched an intraday low of ₹5,265 as operations remained disrupted across its network.
The stock has lost 9.01 per cent over the past week as IndiGo cancelled over 350 flights on Thursday and 102 flights in Bengaluru on Friday alone, affecting thousands of travellers.
The airline cited a multitude of operational challenges including pilot shortages, minor technology glitches, adverse weather conditions, and the implementation of updated crew rostering rules.
Technical analyst Drumil Vithlani at Bonanza noted that the stock has broken below its crucial support zone at ₹5,450-5,500 with rising selling volume.
“The stock is now trading below the 20-EMA and 50-EMA, with momentum turning firmly bearish,” Vithlani said, adding that immediate support lies at ₹5,275-5,300. He warned that further downside toward ₹5,150 and even ₹5,050 near the 200-day EMA cannot be ruled out if current levels break.
The crisis escalated to parliamentary discussions on Friday, with Congress MP Pramod Tiwari raising concerns in the Rajya Sabha about the airline’s monopoly and its impact on MPs and common citizens. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju assured the House that the government was looking into the matter after consulting with the Civil Aviation Minister.
IndiGo informed the DGCA on Thursday that it will reduce flight operations starting December 8 to minimize further disruptions, with normal operations expected to resume by February 10.
The airline has clarified that while the DGCA has sought information regarding the disruptions, it is not aware of any formal probe. The company’s total market capitalization stood at ₹2,10,111.72 crore as of Friday afternoon.
