In 2024, Indigo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,414,458,310 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 12,427,970 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to 2023, where emissions were approximately 6,789,520,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 4,445,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Indigo has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The airline has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. The company has reported emissions intensity metrics, such as GHG emissions per Available Seat Kilometre (ASK) and per Revenue Ton Kilometre (RTK), which are approximately 0.0605 kg CO2e/ASK and 1.38 kg CO2e/RTK for 2024, respectively. These metrics can help track performance over time, although the lack of reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate action strategies. Overall, while Indigo has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of specific reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the airline to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
