The IndiGo company has announced a change in their policy. The reason for this is that fuel prices are increasing. The company will add a fuel surcharge to domestic and international tickets. This means that people will have to pay more for their tickets.

According to a statement issued by IndiGo, this surcharge will range from ₹425 to ₹2,300. This increase will apply to both domestic and international flights.
