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 climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate commitment to long-term sustainability goals. In terms of efficiency metrics, Indigo reported GHG emissions per Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) of about 0.0605 kg CO2e in 2024 and 0.0595 kg CO2e in 2023, alongside GHG emissions per Revenue Ton Kilometres (RTK) of approximately 1.38 kg CO2e in 2024 and 1.104 kg CO2e in 2023. Overall, while Indigo has made strides in tracking its emissions, the lack of reduction targets and Scope 3 data suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
