Kolkata: IndiGo Airlines plans to buy 150 new planes worth over $10 billion to cater to its growth projections in the domestic and international sectors over the next couple of decades.

IndiGo had emerged as one of the biggest buyers at the Paris Air Show in 2005 (nearly a year before it actually took to the skies) when it booked 100 Airbus A320 aircraft worth $6 billion.
