Despite these industry wide disruptions, we reported a net profit of INR 21,763 million with a net profit margin of around 11% for the quarter ended June 2025. While the revenue environment saw moderation, demand for air travel held strong as we served more than 31 million passengers during the quarter, reflecting a growth of around 12 percent on a year-over-year basis.
