The Indian carrier IndiGo is reportedly eyeing up an order for up to 50 ATR 72-600 turboprops with confirmation of the deal set to come at Paris Air Show, according to Business Standard.
The news website spoke with sources familiar with developments who said it was likely that IndiGo would place an order for between 30 and 50 ATR 72-600s.
It is thought that once finalized the agreement could be valued in the region of between $450 and $750 million, according to Business Standard.
Last year it was reported that IndiGo was in discussions with three leading aircraft manufacturers about a potential order for up to 100 regional aircraft.
Sources at the time indicated that ATR was the frontrunner due to the French-Italian firm already having an established relationship with IndiGo.
According to ch-aviation, IndiGo currently operates an active fleet of 46 ATR 72-600s on regional routes.
IndiGo recently doubled its commitment to the Airbus A350-900, placing a firm order for 30 additional wide-body aircraft.
The announcement came on June 2, 2025, during the IATA Annual General Meeting in Delhi. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers described the move as a “strategic step” in advancing the airline’s long-haul ambitions.
India’s largest airline also recently confirmed its launch dates for its new long-haul non-stop services from Mumbai to Manchester in the UK and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
The Paris Air Show opens on June 16, 2025, and runs until June 22, 2025.
