The company's IPO, the biggest in nearly three years, had elicited robust response as the issue got subscribed 6.15 times last month.
This was the biggest IPO in the Indian market since Bharti Infratel's over Rs 4,000-crore public offer in December 2012.

InterGlobe has raised Rs 3,008.5 crore at issue price of Rs 765 per share from its recently concluded, over-subscribed initial public offer (IPO).
The IPO, which was available for subscription from October 27-29, was in the price band of Rs 700-765 a share.

IndiGo has a fleet of 98 aircraft and about 75 of them are on operating lease -- a business model which has helped it lower costs.
