IndiGo is exploring an acquisition of 100 jets from Embraer that could be worth billions of dollars at standard list prices, though terms and discounts remain unfinalized. Deliveries for the prospective order would likely begin in 2030 or later, though neither company has officially confirmed the discussions. The potential deal may involve various regional aircraft models, such as the E175, E190-E2, or E195-E2, which seat between 88 and 146 passengers. Embraer has simultaneously sought deeper operational ties in the region, including exploring an Indian assembly line with Adani Defence & Aerospace.
