Indigo's shares fell 6.41% on Tuesday after the airline posted a 7% fall in its April-June net profit.
The shares of InterGlobe Aviation, IndiGo's parent company, fell nearly 7% on Tuesday after the airline posted a 7% fall in its net profit at Rs 591.77 crore in the June-end quarter.
Interglobe Aviation's shares fell 6.41%, down Rs 62.45 at Rs 911.50 per share on Tuesday.
The company said that its profitability fell mainly because of giving discounts on its tickets to remain competitive in the market.
In the April - June quarter, the company's profits fell from 638.89 crore to Rs 591.77 crore, down 7%. This was despite higher revenues.
The airline's total revenue rose by 9,7% to Rs 4,741.45 crore from Rs 4,211.54 crore in the same period last year, a PTI report said.
After discouraging results, IndiGo, which took the delivery of its first Airbus A320 neo earlier this year, said, it would go slow on inducting more aircraft. This is also likely to have a significant negative fallout on the airline, who's future plans are dependent on the new planes, the agency report said.
IndiGo already operates five A320 Neos and plans to have 24 more by March 2017.
