New Delhi, Jul 1: Budget carrier IndiGo has introduced a new entry-level 'IndiGo Lite' fare for Economy Class passengers, offering lower base fares for travellers flying with only cabin baggage and auto-assigned seats.

The airline said the new fare will be available for bookings made through its website, mobile application and contact centre from July 1, while travel under the Lite category will commence from July 15.

The fare option will be offered on all non-stop domestic and international flights, including one-way, round-trip and multi-city bookings for both adults and children.

Under the IndiGo Lite fare, passengers can carry a cabin bag weighing up to 7 kg and will receive an auto-assigned seat at no additional cost.

Travellers can also purchase optional services such as checked baggage, preferred seats, onboard meals and priority services, including Fast Forward, separately through the airline's website or at the airport up to one hour before departure.

The airline said passengers opting for the Lite fare will continue to earn and redeem IndiGo BluChip loyalty points.

Explaining the new offering, Aloke Singh, Chief Strategy Officer of IndiGo, said the fare has been designed for passengers who travel light and prefer to pay only for the services they require.

With the introduction of IndiGo Lite, the airline's '6E Ways to Fly' portfolio now includes Saver, Flexi Plus, IndiGo UpFront, IndiGoStretch, Stretch+, and Lite, providing customers with a wider range of fare options based on their travel needs and budgets.
