IndiGo ke operator, InterGlobe Aviation, ab apne network ko chote airports tak le jane ke liye **100** regional jets kharidne ki planning kar rahe hain. Embraer ke saath ye baat-cheet abhi shuruati daur mein hai.
IndiGo ka bada strategy shift
Ab tak IndiGo ka model simple raha hai—sirf Airbus narrow-body planes use karna, taaki maintenance aur training ka kharcha bache. Lekin ab 100 Embraer regional jets (aur 50 extra ke options) ki baat-cheet se lag raha hai ki company ka focus ab chhote airports aur kam lambi flights capture karne par hai. Abhi tak koi formal exchange filing nahi hui hai, par ye move operational complexity bada sakta hai kyunki alag aircraft type matlab nayi maintenance aur training requirements.
Loss ke beech expansion?
Ye khabar aise samay aayi hai jab airline ne September quarter mein ₹18.79 Billion ka consolidated net loss report kiya hai. Fuel prices aur seasonality ne balance sheet par dabaav dala hai. Itne bade loss ke baad multi-billion dollar ka fleet expansion market share par toh focus dikhata hai, lekin balance sheet par kitna load aayega, ye dekhne wali baat hogi.
Kya hai bada game plan?
Embraer pehle hi Adani Defence & Aerospace ke saath milkar India mein E175 jets assemble karne ki baat kar chuka hai. Agar IndiGo ki deal final hoti hai, toh ye desh mein aviation manufacturing ke liye bada boost ho sakta hai. Investors ke liye ab ye dekhna zaroori hai ki ye discussions kab firm order mein badalti hain aur company iska funding kaise handle karti hai.
