This Aviation stock, engaged in providing air transportation services under the brand IndiGo, offers affordable, reliable, and on-time flights across domestic and international routes, is in focus after the company expanded its Airbus A350-900 order from 30 to 60 aircraft for long-haul expansion starting in 2027.
With a market capitalization of Rs. 206,416.59 crores, the share of Interglobe Aviation Limited has reached an intraday high of Rs. 5,369.95 per equity share, rising nearly 0.68 percent from its previous day’s close price of Rs. 5,333.45. Since then, the stock has retreated and is currently trading at Rs. 5,341.50 per equity share.
IndiGo, India’s leading airline, has taken another major step toward global expansion by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus. On June 1, 2025, IndiGo announced that it had converted 30 of its 70 purchase rights into a firm order for Airbus A350-900 aircraft. This means IndiGo now has 60 confirmed wide-body aircraft on order, with 40 purchase rights still available for future expansion.
IndiGo had first placed an order for 30 A350-900 aircraft in April 2024, with deliveries expected to begin in 2027. The recent expansion of the order shows the airline’s strong focus on building a global network and offering more international travel options. These new aircraft will help IndiGo connect Indian cities with destinations across the world and offer more flights through its partner airlines.
The A350-900 aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce’s Trent XWB engines, known for their fuel efficiency and performance. This will give IndiGo a better range, lower operating costs, and the ability to serve more long-distance routes effectively.
To prepare for long-haul operations, IndiGo also introduced six leased wide-body planes in March 2025, with deliveries completing by 2026. With India now being the world’s third-largest aviation market and the government focusing on global aviation growth, IndiGo is well-positioned for major international expansion.
