IndiGo's profit plunged 73% in Q4 due to an increase in fuel prices, decline in yields and foreign exchange impact, the company said.
The stock, in the opening, dropped by more than 6% and then plunged to 15% in a couple of minutes.
The airline, India’s biggest in terms of the number of planes and passengers carried, posted a profit of Rs 440.3 crore a year ago.
Total expenses jumped 30.2% to Rs 5,891 crore, including a 33.5% increase in fuel costs in the January-March quarter.
IndiGo also had to cancel hundreds of flights in March when several in-flight engine failures prompted India's aviation regulator to ground eight of the airline's Airbus A320neo aircraft fitted with certain Pratt & Whitney engines.
The aviation company also recently accepted the resignation of Aditya Ghosh as their chief executive. Ghosh will continue to remain one of the directors of the company.
