Crucial IndiGo EGM today; here’s what is on agenda

In the first week of December, Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal - the two promoters of Indigo - summoned an EGM to scrap a clause in the company's articles of association (AoA) that gives them the right of first refusal (RoFR) over the acquisition of each other's share.

This practically means that if the shareholders agree to waive the clause, either party can sell or transfer shares to a third party without notifying the other.

Analyst Mayuresh Joshi, William O'Neil said that for Indigo, the overhang when it comes to this internal feud as far as the promoters are concerned, if it gets resolved, a large part of that overhang probably goes behind the stock.

"The markets, however, look beyond that. They look at the structural story unfolding in front of them at this point in time. Yes, the last quarter or two, with restrictions getting lifted off capacities running at 90-100 odd percent, gave life back to the airline. But with omicron coming back, restrictions coming back again and a lot of these airline companies actually fighting for their slots with competitive intensity coming through, pricing pressures being displayed, crude prices move higher, ATF prices were input costs specifically ATF is almost 45 odd percent and if that increases because of competitive pressure, prices do not increase in that proportion," added Joshi.
