What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

InterGlobe Aviation Ltd is seeking shareholder approval to raise its borrowing limit by 57% to finance an aggressive fleet expansion, targeting over 550 aircraft by 2030. Separately, the Ministry of Civil Aviation is reportedly considering a policy change that would allow airport operators, such as the Adani Group, to own and operate airlines. Currently, airport operators are restricted from owning more than a 10% stake in any airline.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed policy aims to increase competition in India's aviation market, where IndiGo and Air India currently hold nearly 90% of domestic capacity. IndiGo's borrowing increase supports its plan to meet high annual passenger targets through fleet growth.
