IndiGo will revise fuel charges across its domestic and international routes from October 6, citing a sustained increase in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) costs.The revised charges will apply to all new bookings made after 0001 hours on October 6, 2026. IndiGo said ATF prices have remained volatile in recent months, with geopolitical developments in the Middle East contributing to the increase.The airline said the latest month-on-month rise in fuel prices has exceeded 14%, taking ATF costs to among their highest levels in the past decade. Fuel represents a significant component of airline operating costs and the increase is expected to affect cost structures and network economics.Under the revised domestic fuel charge structure, passengers will pay INR 375 for routes up to 500 km, INR 600 for routes between 501 km and 1,000 km, INR 900 for routes between 1,001 km and 1,500 km, INR 1,150 for routes between 1,501 km and 2,000 km, and INR 1,300 for routes above 2,000 km.For international flights, the revised charge will be INR 1,000 for SAARC routes up to 500 km and INR 3,000 for SAARC routes of 501 km and above. Flights to Southeast Asia, the GCC and Middle East, and North and East Asia will attract a fuel charge of INR 5,500.The charge will be INR 6,000 for flights to Africa and INR 10,000 for flights to Europe.IndiGo said the revised charges represent a relatively modest adjustment compared with the increase that would have been required to fully offset higher fuel costs.The airline said it would continue to monitor fuel prices and the broader operating environment and make further adjustments when required.IndiGo added that the revised charges would result in an additional cost for customers but said the adjustment was necessary in view of sustained increases in operating costs.
