Shares of InterGlobe Aviation climbed nearly 3 per cent to hit its 52-week high level during the trade on Tuesday, a day after IndiGo announced placing a firm order to buy 500 narrow-body planes from Airbus.

In one of the largest-ever aircraft purchases by an airline, IndiGo on Monday announced placing a firm order to buy 500 narrow-body planes from Airbus as the airline embarks on an ambitious long-term growth path.
The multi-billion dollar deal comes less than five months after Air India placed orders for 470 aircraft with Airbus and Boeing.
The latest order by IndiGo is the largest-ever aircraft order placed by any airline with Airbus.
Financial details of the order were not disclosed.
The aircraft purchase agreement was signed between the airline and Airbus at the Paris Air Show 2023. The latest order will provide IndiGo a further steady stream of deliveries between 2030 and 2035, the airline said in a release.
Currently, IndiGo operates more than 300 aircraft. It has previous orders totalling 480 aircraft, which are yet to be delivered.
