InterGlobe Aviation Limited, which operates IndiGo, has told the exchanges that it received an order on 12 Oct 2026 from the Office of the Principal Commissioner of Customs, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The order confirms a demand of additional customs duty on the import of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) for the period May 2024 to August 2025.
The order includes a demand of duty along with interest, fine and penalty. The filing gives the fine and penalty as ₹3,50,00,000, or ₹3.5 crore, and does not state the amount of duty.
The company says it believes it has correctly deposited the duty and that its case has merit, and it will contest the order before the appropriate appellate authority. It states that there is no significant impact on its financials, operations or other activities. It also says the delay in its disclosure was unintentional and caused by a delay in internal communication of the order.
Inference
The order is a decision by the customs authority that the company disputes, and the company has the right to appeal. The only amount the filing quantifies is the ₹3.5 crore fine and penalty, so the full size of the demand is not known from this announcement.
The company says the impact is not significant. Investors may want to watch for the appeal and for any later disclosure that gives the amount of duty and interest, as well as the company's description of how it handles internal reporting of such orders.
