Just few days back, IndiGo had also placed an outline order for 50 turboprop planes worth $1.3 billion at list prices as the subcontinent's biggest carrier expands into regional flights connecting smaller population centers. IndiGo has joined national carrier Air India and SpiceJet which have finalised plans under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's UDAN or Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik scheme to make it cheaper for people to fly within India. The scheme subsidises part of the cost for airlines to fly to smaller towns.
