IndiGo says it plans to decide on its next aircraft order in 2030 after assessing “new-generation” planes. According to reports citing Rahul Bhatia, the assessment focuses on newer aircraft designs expected to incorporate advanced technologies and improved environmental performance. The term “new-generation” is generally used to describe aircraft with features that can reduce emissions and improve efficiency compared with older models. The outlets note that the decision is forward-looking, with IndiGo not indicating an order timeline before 2030. Instead, the airline points to the need to evaluate how forthcoming aircraft offerings fit its requirements and operational plans as the year approaches. The coverage also frames the move as part of broader fleet planning, where the airline weighs technical capabilities, likely efficiency and emissions benefits, and other factors associated with next-generation aircraft. Overall, the reports agree that IndiGo’s next major procurement decision is expected around 2030, subject to ongoing evaluation of new aircraft options.
