AI summary

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has passed a prima facie order dated February 4, 2026, directing its Director General to investigate InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) for allegedly creating an artificial shortage of seats during December's flight chaos. IndiGo says it is reviewing the order and will decide on next steps. The filing was made in response to NSE seeking clarification on a Moneycontrol news item about the probe. A Section 26(1) order is a preliminary step, not a finding of guilt.

Likely market impact

Short-term negative sentiment from regulatory scrutiny. Investigation outcome could lead to penalties or reputational risk if wrongdoing is confirmed.
