Yes. IndiGo operates non-stop flights between Kolkata (CCU) and Indore (IDR), typically once or twice a day. Frequency is modest, so on some dates the non-stop may not suit your timing and you will see 1-stop connections instead.
The common 1-stop routing is via Delhi or another hub, on IndiGo or Air India. If timing is flexible, the non-stop is the obvious choice on this 1,300 km sector. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard older listings naming them.
The distance is about 1,300 km, covered non-stop in roughly 2h 10m to 2h 20m. Both cities share IST, so there is no time change — arrival is simply departure plus flight time. A 1-stop connection takes 4.5–6 hours overall depending on the layover, so the direct flight saves you a meaningful chunk of the day.
With only one or two non-stops a day, those seats can fill up and push fares around. Booking 3–6 weeks ahead generally gives steadier pricing. Demand rises during festival travel (Durga Puja from the Kolkata end, Diwali at both) and the pleasant winter months.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (winter) | High | Book 4–6 weeks out |
| Mar–May (summer) | Moderate | 3–4 weeks usually fine |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheaper; watch for delays |
| Durga Puja / Diwali | Very high | Book 6+ weeks ahead |

Practical levers on this sector:
Morning departures are generally the most reliable across Indian domestic flying. On Kolkata–Indore, an early or mid-morning non-stop is the safest pick if you have onward plans in Indore. Evening flights suit a full day in Kolkata but carry slightly higher delay risk in the monsoon and during winter fog spells, which can affect northern-hub connections.
Business travellers: take the morning non-stop, keep to cabin baggage, and build a buffer if you have a fixed meeting, since direct frequency is limited.
Families: the non-stop is much easier with children than a Delhi connection. Book seats together early on the limited direct flights.
Students and budget travellers: midweek and monsoon dates are cheapest. A 1-stop via Delhi can save money if you are not pressed for time — just account for the extra 2–4 hours.
Kolkata (CCU) — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport operates from a single integrated terminal for both domestic and international flights, so there is no terminal confusion.
Indore (IDR) — Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport has a single terminal handling all flights; a new terminal is planned but the current one is compact and easy to navigate.
Kolkata's airport at Dum Dum is about 15–17 km from the city centre; app-cabs, prepaid taxis and buses serve the route, with traffic heaviest at peak hours. Indore's airport is around 8 km west of the city — typically a 20–30 minute drive by app-cab, auto or prepaid taxi.

Pack accordingly for the season.
