Overview
- IndiGo opened bookings for the new IndiGo Lite fare on Wednesday for travel starting July 15, and the product is sold only through the airline’s website, mobile app and contact centre.
- Under Lite customers get an auto‑assigned seat and a 7 kg cabin‑bag allowance while the standard checked baggage allowance is excluded from the base price.
- Passengers can purchase extras such as checked baggage, preferred seats, meals and priority services up to one hour before departure through IndiGo’s direct channels or at the airport.
- The airline says domestic travellers can save roughly ₹300–400 on the Lite fare and Lite bookings continue to earn and redeem IndiGo BluChip loyalty points.
- The launch follows rival carriers’ moves to unbundle services and comes as the government cut ATF prices by about ₹5 per litre, though IndiGo describes Lite as a strategic product decision rather than a fuel‑driven change.
