IndiGo allows one cabin bag up to 7 kg with dimensions of 55 x 35 x 25 cm (about 115 cm total) that fits in the overhead bin, on both domestic and international flights. You may also carry one personal item up to 3 kg sized 45 x 35 x 20 cm, such as a handbag or laptop bag, to fit under the seat in front. Gate staff actively weigh and gauge cabin bags, so stay within limits. Confirm current cabin rules on goindigo.in.
Under the 6E Ways to Fly fares introduced in early 2026, domestic checked baggage is 15 kg on Saver and Flexi fares and 20 kg on UpFront (a 15 kg base plus a 5 kg booster). IndiGoStretch business fares carry a higher allowance. The allowance can be a single piece or split across bags within the weight cap. Always check the exact checked weight tied to your fare on goindigo.in before you pack.
International checked allowances are higher than domestic and differ by route and fare. Gulf and Southeast Asia sectors commonly allow around 30 kg, with more on higher fares, while some long-haul and European routes sit closer to 25-30 kg. Maldives and certain destinations have their own rules. Because each route is configured separately, confirm the precise free checked weight for your specific international itinerary on goindigo.in or your booking confirmation.
If you exceed your free allowance, IndiGo charges excess baggage per kilogram, and it is always cheaper to pre-purchase an extra baggage allowance online before travel than to pay at the airport counter. You can add prepaid baggage during booking or later via Manage Booking. Per-kg rates change periodically and differ for domestic versus international, so check the current excess and prepaid baggage rates on goindigo.in rather than relying on older figures.
Each infant travelling on an adult's lap is allowed a hand baggage allowance, and one stroller or pram per infant is carried free of charge. On a Saver fare you can stack add-on bundles such as Super 6E or 6E Prime, some of which include extra checked baggage, to raise your allowance. If you regularly travel with more bags, compare buying a higher fare versus adding prepaid baggage on goindigo.in.
Power banks and spare lithium batteries must travel in cabin baggage, never in checked bags, and IndiGo limits power bank capacity in line with DGCA rules.

Review the prohibited-items list and special baggage process on goindigo.in before flying.
