SpiceJet, whose net profit grew more than three times to Rs 73.2 crore in the March quarter, plans to induct over 100 narrow-body planes in the next few months as the budget carrier seeks to tap growing domestic demand.

It registered a net profit of Rs 22.52 crore in the year-ago period.
In the latest March quarter, the airline took a "one-time expense of Rs 173 crore towards stabilising and improving the reliability of its fleet".
