InterGlobe Aviation Moat Analysis: Score & Risks
InterGlobe Aviation Ltd.
A first-pass moat teardown of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd., built from single-pass filing evidence. Free note — provisional, and the full two-pass deep dive may revise it.
First-pass narrow read — primary edge in Cost Advantage. Provisional, single-pass evidence.
InterGlobe Aviation Ltd. scores 5.41 on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow moat in Services. This is a first-pass note: the dimensional read and the filing receipts below come from a single GFIP evidence pass, not the full two-pass deep corpus behind our flagship deep dives. Provisional — published free while the deep version is queued.
Seven dimensions of moat
Ordered by contribution. Each dimension carries a verified filing quote, graded [M] mechanism or [O] outcome.
“On a per ASK basis, employee benefits expense reduced by 10.1% owing to higher employee productivity.”
“From operating a single aircraft in 2006 to commanding a fleet of 434 today”
“With our target of 600 plus aircraft fleet by the end of this decade in mind, we continue to develop and align people, processes and technology in line with the growing size and scale of IndiGo.”
“Furthermore, we extended our codeshare agreement with Qantas allowing our customers access to 7 new connections to Australia via Singapore.”
“The 'BluChip' loyalty programme was also introduced for the customers, enabling them to take advantage of flying frequently with IndiGo. Nearly 3 million members are already part of the programme.”
“This translates into a net margin improvement of 3.2 points driven primarily by improvement in unit passenger revenue and continued favorable fuel environment.”
D8 rating: ADEQUATE. Not part of the moat score — it governs the cost of equity and the fade window. First-pass; not yet deep-reviewed.
The barrier gate — first-pass
Effective barrier 5 — below 6, so the band is capped narrow. First-pass estimate.
Deep two-pass review. This draft rests on a single GFIP evidence pass; the full 10-year AR + concall corpus may move the read.
The barrier gate. A firmer replication or bypass estimate is the most likely thing to shift the band.
Adverse events. Any governance, regulatory or funding shock captured in D8 could re-rate the fade window.
Where this note fits. This company is one of 509 Indian companies we have scored for moat durability — 370 narrow, 126 narrow-trending-wide, none wide. Every score, dimension by dimension, is free in the Moat Screener.
