InterGlobe Aviation fined for pilot training lapse

InterGlobe Aviation announced on October 8, 2025, that it has been penalized INR 20,00,000 by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The penalty, communicated on September 26, 2025, stems from an alleged failure to utilize qualified simulators for pilot training at Category C Aerodromes. The company, which trades as INDIGO, is currently contesting this order with the appropriate appellate authority.

Despite the penalty, InterGlobe Aviation stated there would be no material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities. The company also addressed a delay in disclosing the information, explaining it was unintentional and resulted from a delay in internal communication of the order's details.

This disclosure was made to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited. Neerja Sharma, company secretary and chief compliance officer, signed the disclosure for InterGlobe Aviation.
