The sale involved 2.26 crore shares and fetched \u20b911,928 crore, according to a report by CNBC-TV18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shares were sold at a floor price of \u20b95,260 each, which is around 3% lower than the previous closing price. Global investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan were involved in managing the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gangwal had earlier resigned from IndiGo&#8217;s board in 2022 and had announced his intention to gradually reduce his stake in the airline. Even after resigning, he has remained one of the biggest shareholders of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This share offering follows soon after IndiGo reported robust financial results in the January-March 2025 quarter. The airline has reported a net profit of \u20b93,067.5 crore, significantly above the \u20b91,894.8 crore of the corresponding quarter a year ago. It was the second consecutive profitable quarter of IndiGo, fueled by robust demand in the domestic segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indigo&#8217;s operational revenue increased by 24% to \u20b922,151.9 crore, marginally short of market estimates of \u20b922,500 crore. The airline&#8217;s EBITDAR also rose to \u20b96,948.2 crore from \u20b94,412.3 crore a year earlier. The margin rose to 31.4% from 24.8% over the comparable period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 9:20 AM on May 27, shares of IndiGo were trading at a price of \u20b95,294, down 2.4% from the closing of the last day. Nonetheless, the share has been in a robust uptrend in 2025 and has risen by a near 20% year to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a news tip for Lakshmishree reporters?
