The Aviation company IndiGo on 3 November announced its quarterly earnings for the July-September quarter.
InterGlobe Aviation, the operator of low-cost airline IndiGo, reported a net profit of Rs 188.9 crore for the quarter under review from Rs 1,583.33 crore net loss reported in the year-ago quarter.
