DGCA fines IndiGo Rs 20 lakh for using non‑qualified simulators in Category‑C pilot training

India’s DGCA has fined InterGlobe Aviation, owner of IndiGo, Rs 20 lakh for using non‑qualified simulators to train pilots operating at Category‑C/high‑risk aerodromes such as Calicut, Leh and Kathmandu. The penalty, imposed Sept. 26, will be contested; the carrier says there is no material financial or operational impact.
