The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has initiated an investigation into IndiGo for alleged abuse of dominant position, following reports of fare increases in the aftermath of widespread flight cancellations in December 2025. The probe has been triggered by concerns that capacity constraints and operational disruptions may have resulted in disproportionate pricing on certain routes.
The investigation reflects increasing regulatory focus on competition and pricing practices within India’s aviation sector, particularly in situations of market disruption. The outcome of the probe may have broader implications for airline pricing strategies, market conduct and compliance frameworks, especially for carriers with significant market share on key domestic routes.
