InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, owner of IndiGo Airlines, will report its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday. While revenue is expected to grow at a healthy pace, rising aviation fuel prices in the January to March quarter is expected to dent the net profit figure.

The country’s largest carrier by market share is expected to benefit from the near 20 percent jump in aviation passenger traffic in the first three months of 2017, but rising aviation fuel prices may weigh on the bottomline.
