India's IndiGo names Vikram Singh Mehta as new chairman

Indian airline IndiGo INDIGO appointed Vikram Singh Mehta as the chairman of its board, the low-cost carrier said on Wednesday.

Mehta, an existing board member of IndiGo, will succeed Venkataramani Sumantran, who took charge as chairman three years ago at the start of a post-pandemic rebound in air travel.

Mehta has previously worked at Shell and served on the boards of Colgate Palmolive (India) COLPAL, Mahindra & Mahindra M&M as well as Larsen and Toubro LT.
