IndiGo imposes fuel surcharge

The move will increase the airfares for all IndiGo flights.
For domestic flights and those within the Indian subcontinent, the fuel charge will be ₹425, while it will be ₹900 for the Middle East services, the airline said in a statement on Friday.
The fuel charge will be ₹1,800 for South East Asia, China, and Africa flights, and ₹2,300 for Europe flights.
