Indian Airlines’ situation

India’s airline industry is dominated by IndiGo, which holds the largest market share and fleet, followed by Air India as the flag carrier group. Recent data as of early 2026 shows a near-duopoly, with smaller players like Akasa Air and SpiceJet gaining modest ground amid capacity growth.
​Market Share
IndiGo commands 63-65% of the domestic market, operating around 440 aircraft and 13 million seats in March 2026. Air India Group (including Air India Express) holds 25-27%, with 3.8 million seats but a slight capacity dip year-over-year.

Akasa Air has about 5%, SpiceJet 2-4%, reflecting their smaller fleets of roughly 30-35 aircraft each.
