With the IndiGo flight disruptions continuing on the fifth consecutive day, the Ministry of Civil Aviation on Saturday (December 6, 2025) announced capping of airfares to control the surge in ticket prices due to breakdown in the private carrier’s flight services.

Invoked its regulatory powers, the ministry took note of the “unusually high airfares” amid travellers booked with IndiGo making alternative arrangements. IndiGo cancelled over 400 flights from four major airports as of Saturday (December 6) afternoon.

“An official directive has been issued to all airlines mandating strict adherence to the fare caps that have now been prescribed. These caps will remain in force until the situation fully stabilises,” a press statement from the ministry on Saturday (December 6) said.
