The civil aviation regulator DGCA has imposed a penalty of Rs 22.20 crore on IndiGo and taken strict enforcement action against its senior management after a probe found serious planning, operational and regulatory lapses behind the massive flight disruptions in December 2025.
The large-scale delays and cancellations happened between December 3 and 5, 2025, during which IndiGo cancelled 2,507 flights and 1,852 saw delays. These factors left over three lakh passengers stranded in airports across India.
