IndiGo has secured US$328 million in financing through Citi and Credendo to fund eight Airbus aircraft, including six A321s and two A320s. This transaction, executed via its subsidiary InterGlobe Aviation Financial Services IFSC Private Limited, is the first aviation financing globally to be insured by Credendo and the first Export Credit Agency backed financing completed under a GIFT IFSC leasing structure.

Following this financing, IndiGo entered early stage negotiations with Embraer to purchase 100 regional jets, with an option for 50 additional aircraft. If the deal is finalized, deliveries could begin in 2030, aiming to expand the airline's regional network and replace existing turboprop services.
