India’s largest airline, IndiGo, is currently grappling with its biggest crisis, which has not only cast a shadow over its future but also raised questions about the reputation of the country’s aviation sector. In the last seven days, IndiGo has cancelled more than 2,000 flights, causing troubles and humiliation to millions of passengers and creating chaotic situations at several major airports across the country. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) implemented new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules, aimed at providing more rest periods for airline pilots and crew members to prevent fatigue.The Ministry of Civil Aviation has introduce the FDTL rules in January 2024 but they failed to comply them on IndiGo resulting a major aviation crisis { Refer link – https://www.business-standard.com/industry/aviation/india-pilot-fatigue-rules-fdtl-indigo-flight-cancellations-explained-125120400570_1.html}
The government had given all airlines sufficient time to implement these new rules, but IndiGo, a low-cost carrier already struggling with a shortage of pilots and staff, showed gross negligence and disregarded the government’s orders. From an astrological perspective, InterGlobe Aviation Limited, or IndiGo, was officially incorporated on August 11, 2006, under the Companies Act, 1956. In IndiGo’s foundation horoscope , all the major planets are placed in the Upachaya houses (houses of growth), namely the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses. This planetary configuration allowed the company to surpass all its competitors within a few years of her formation.

Mars is a Maraka (death-inflicting) planet and is situated in the Nakshatra of Rahu, the significator of the aviation sector. Therefore, from February 2026 to February 2027, the Maha Dasha of Mars and the Anter Dasha of Rahu in the foundation horoscope of India will bring major upheavals in the aviation sector of India. During the upcoming Vimsottari Dasha of Mars and Anter Dasha of Rahu the central government may introduce some new regulations for the airline industry. Rahu is situated in the ascendant in the sign of Taurus, ruled by Venus, in the horoscope of independent India. Venus is the karaka for the aviation and hospitality industry, and it is in volve ina ‘Graha Yuddha’ with 10th lord (government) and 9th lord (judiciary) Saturn.
During the sub-period of Rahu in the main period of Mars, after February 2026, a new company may enter the airline industry, and foreign investment in this sector will also increase. Indigo Airlines will face significant challenges until April 2027 due to the influence of the sub-period of Venus in the main period of Jupiter, but based on its strong foundational horoscope, this company may remain the largest airline company in India for the next few years.
