IndiGo names Vikram Singh Mehta as Chairman

IndiGo, India’s largest airline by market share, has appointed Vikram Singh Mehta as Chairman, framing the governance transition against the backdrop of a “successful recovery.” The move comes as IndiGo consolidates its operational and financial rebound, scales international routes, and continues a historically large aircraft order program. Mehta, an experienced business leader and independent director, brings board stewardship focused on safety, fleet and network optimization, and prudent strategic expansion. For IndiGo, the Chair’s role is pivotal to balancing growth with resilience: maintaining OTP and cost discipline, advancing sustainability commitments, and supporting management in capacity planning amid supply-chain variability. The company positions the leadership change as reinforcing long-term value creation and stakeholder confidence as India’s aviation continues a multi-year upcycle.
