Overview
- The airline revised multiple ancillary charges in mid‑September 2026 and the new rates are already in effect for bookings and airport purchases.
- Confirmed changes on IndiGo’s fee pages include a domestic infant lap fee now ₹3,000 per sector, excess baggage ₹800 per kg at airport counters, Fast Forward priority airport charge ₹650 domestically, unaccompanied‑minor fees ₹5,999 (domestic) and ₹12,999 (international), and travel certificates ₹300.
- Some updated amounts are visible directly on IndiGo’s website while other figures were reported by media citing unnamed sources, and the carrier has not issued a detailed public explanation for the revisions.
- The increases raise out‑of‑fare costs most sharply for parents travelling with infants, travellers who exceed baggage allowances and customers who buy priority or special‑assistance services, though prepaid baggage slabs remain an option that can lower costs if bought before travel.
- Analysts and reports link the routine ancillary adjustments to broader airline cost pressures and to IndiGo’s heavy reliance on add‑on revenue as India’s largest domestic carrier, so passengers are advised to check final ancillary charges before booking.
