IndiGo’s share price has fallen by almost 17% across eight trading sessions, slipping from ₹5,917 on 27 November to ₹4,913. The drop followed extensive flight disruptions, including more than 1,000 cancellations in a single day. 

The operational challenges stemmed primarily from the airline’s implementation of updated Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) for pilots, combined with additional technical and logistical issues, as per The Economic Times report.
