After Indigo cancelled a large number of flights in December, the Central government told the Delhi High Court that a ₹22 crore penalty had been imposed on the airline and that its senior vice president had been directed to step down from duty.

The Court was informed that Indigo has also been asked to provide a ₹50 crore bank guarantee to the DGCA as a measure to ensure compliance with regulatory directions and long-term systemic correction.

It was further stated that refunds have been issued to affected passengers and that compensation payments are currently being processed.

The High Court directed the government to submit an affidavit within two weeks and fixed February 25 as the next date of hearing.
