On 6 December, IndiGo informed the stock exchange that it had received a joint requisition from co-founders Rahul Bhatia of InterGlobe Enterprises and Rakesh Gangwal and his family for removing transfer restriction articles from the AoA. Together, the two promoters own a 74.44 per cent stake in the airline.

The call for the EGM follows a London Court of International Arbitration’s September order which directed an amendment to the AoA to scrap the clause regarding RoFR. The London court had granted the parties 90 days to implement the order.
