IndiGo shares fall nearly 4% after CCI orders investigation into unfair business practices amid flight cancellations.
Shares of InterGlobe Aviation declined nearly 4% on Thursday (February 5, 2026) morning trade after the Competition Commission ordered a detailed probe against IndiGo for unfair business practices.
The stock dropped 3.65% to ₹4,782.45 on the BSE.
At the NSE, the stock declined 3.63% to ₹4,780.30 apiece.
The Competition Commission on Wednesday (February 4, 2026) ordered a detailed probe against IndiGo for unfair business practices, nearly two months after the country's largest airline cancelled thousands of flights due to operational issues, causing hardships to passengers.
After taking into consideration data related to airlines and those provided by the aviation regulator DGCA, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has prima facie concluded that IndiGo has abused its dominant position.
In a 16-page order, CCI said that by cancelling thousands of flights, which constituted a significant portion of the scheduled capacity, IndiGo effectively withheld its services from the market, creating an artificial scarcity, limiting consumer access to air travel during peak demand.

The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
