The Directorate General of Civil Aviation in India (DGCA) has granted a one-time 24-hour extension to Indigo to respond to the show-cause notice, issued earlier on December 6, 2025.
The deadline now stands at 8 pm IST on December 8, 2025. The DGCA has stated that no further extensions will be permitted. It also mentioned that failure to submit a comprehensive reply within the deadline would result in the DGCA proceeding ex-parte, according to Reuters.

The DGCA had earlier issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo’s chief executive officer Pieter Elbers, holding the airline accountable for large-scale operational disruptions and pointing to “significant lapses in planning, oversight, and resource management,” according to ANI.
The notice demands that the CEO provide an explanation for the disruptions following a week of widespread cancellations and delays that have left thousands of passengers stranded across India.
