- Delhi High Court asked Customs to respond to IndiGo’s plea for a ₹900 crore refund of Customs duty paid on re-imported aircraft engines and parts after overseas repairs.
- IndiGo argues the duty is unconstitutional and amounts to double taxation, as GST was also paid on the repair service.
- Customs authorities opposed the plea, calling it premature since a related issue is pending before the Supreme Court.
- The court has given Customs two weeks to file a counter affidavit and scheduled the next hearing for April 8, 2026.
- IndiGo claims previous tribunal rulings support their case, but Customs refused refunds, requiring reassessment of each bill of entry.
