The Central government has ordered IndiGo to immediately clear all pending passenger refunds and has imposed fare caps to curb surge pricing amidst a nationwide disruption. Directives include completing refunds by Sunday evening, waiving rescheduling fees, and ensuring baggage delivery within 48 hours. The government expects operations to normalize within three days.

With passengers now looking for trains as a dependable mode of long-distance transport, the addition of coaches is expected to significantly alleviate congestion without delay

The Centre may seek removal of IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers and impose penalties after massive disruptions, with flight operations set to be cut and high-level meetings underway at PMO.
