This week on Monday, SpiceJet announced a notable turnaround in its financials for the first quarter, driven by reduced costs which outweighed a decline in revenue.
The airline revealed a consolidated net profit of Rs 197.64 crore for the quarter ending June 30.
This marked a significant shift from the net loss of Rs 783.72 crore recorded during the corresponding period in the previous year.
