IndiGo Shares Climb as HSBC Maintains Positive Outlook Following Business Class Launch

Separator

InterInterGlobe Aviation Ltd., the parent company of IndiGo, saw its shares rise  after HSBC expressed continued optimism regarding the airline's recent introduction of business class services on key metro routes. HSBC noted that IndiGo's move into the business class segment challenges the previous dominance of Vistara and Air India, though the immediate financial impact might be modest. This shift could help IndiGo capture more corporate traffic and strengthen its market position, HSBC reported.

IndiGo’s business class pricing is seen as competitive, potentially offsetting the lack of some premium features. Despite some doubts about the demand for IndiGo’s new premium offering, the airline's performance in the upcoming third quarter, which is traditionally strong for the industry, will be closely watched. HSBC has maintained a 'buy' rating on the stock.

IndiGo shares increased by as much as 4% during the day, later stabilizing with a 3.18% gain at Rs 4,436.70 per share. This is compared to a 0.2% rise in the Nifty 50 index. Over the past year, IndiGo’s stock has surged 79% and 49% year-to-date. Trading volume on the day was 3.2 times the 30-day average, with a relative strength index of 59.
