An IndiGo flight bound for Guwahati returned safely to Pune airport on Sunday morning after experiencing a technical issue involving its landing gear shortly after takeoff, prompting the Indian Air Force to declare a full emergency as a precautionary measure.

The aircraft, operating as flight 6E 0623 (VT-IZE), had departed from Pune for Guwahati when the crew detected that the landing gear had failed to retract and remained extended.

The pilot immediately informed Air Traffic Control (ATC), following which airport authorities coordinated with IndiGo and other relevant agencies to manage the situation.

A full emergency was declared, and fire tenders, ambulances and emergency response teams were deployed and kept on standby to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

As part of standard safety procedures, the aircraft conducted a low pass over the runway, enabling authorities to visually inspect the landing gear before approving its return.

The aircraft subsequently landed safely at Pune airport at 9.04 a.m. After touchdown, it was escorted to Bay No. 7 by emergency vehicles, including three fire-fighting trucks and two ambulances.

Following confirmation that the aircraft was in a safe and normal condition, the emergency was withdrawn at 9.10 a.m.

All 192 passengers and crew members were safely deboarded through an aerobridge, and no injuries were reported.

IndiGo said it has arranged an alternate aircraft from Bengaluru to operate the Pune-Guwahati service and minimise disruption to affected passengers.

In a statement, the airline said flight 6E 623 returned to Pune after a technical snag was detected shortly after takeoff and that all relevant authorities were informed in accordance with standard operating procedures.

“IndiGo flight 6E 623, operating from Pune to Guwahati on 15 November 2026, returned to origin and landed safely at the Pune International Airport after a technical snag was detected shortly after take-off. In line with standard operating procedures, all relevant authorities were immediately informed,” the spokesperson stated.

“The aircraft is undergoing maintenance checks and will resume operations after securing necessary clearances. An alternate aircraft has been arranged promptly to operate the flight,” the airline added.

IndiGo also said it is providing passengers with regular updates, meals and refreshments, alternative travel arrangements and refunds where applicable, while expressing regret for the inconvenience caused.

Indian stock markets are likely to remain volatile next week as investors track foreign institutional investor (FII) flows, crude oil price movements, Nvidia’s quarterly earnings and changing interest rate expectations.

After a spectacular rally that pushed the Sensex and Nifty higher for 10 consecutive sessions, benchmark indices witnessed some profit booking towards the end of last week. However, sustained foreign inflows and resilient corporate earnings helped markets retain their weekly gains.

The Sensex declined 319 points to close at 81,592 on Friday (November 13), while the Nifty slipped over 155 points to settle at 25,144, snapping a three-session winning streak.

The correction came amid renewed concerns over global AI-related trade, rising crude oil prices and expectations of tighter monetary policy following a sharper-than-expected increase in domestic inflation.

One of the biggest factors influencing market sentiment next week will be the continuation of FII buying. Foreign investors remained net buyers of Indian equities for the tenth consecutive session on Friday, purchasing shares worth Rs 5,736.55 crore, according to provisional NSE data.

Crude oil prices will also remain on investors’ radar as geopolitical developments in the Middle East continue to create uncertainty over global energy supplies.

While comments from US President Donald Trump suggesting that the Iran war was effectively over initially eased concerns and triggered a decline in oil prices, fresh attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz led to a rebound.

Brent crude is currently hovering near $96 per barrel. Any further rise in oil prices could weigh on India’s macroeconomic outlook, inflation and corporate margins, while a sustained decline may support market sentiment.

Global technology stocks will also be in focus as investors await Nvidia’s quarterly earnings announcement scheduled for Tuesday (November 17).

The chipmaker’s results and management commentary could influence sentiment around the global artificial intelligence trade.

Any sharp movement in AI-related stocks may have an impact on Indian equities, particularly technology shares, as investors assess the implications for global growth and the competitive positioning of Indian IT companies.

Meanwhile, rising inflation has brought interest rate expectations back into focus. India’s retail inflation accelerated to 6.09 per cent in October from 5.54 per cent in September, breaching the Reserve Bank of India’s upper tolerance limit of 6 per cent.

The latest reading has strengthened concerns about the possibility of monetary tightening, with several economists anticipating a potential rate hike at the RBI’s December policy meeting. Market participants will closely assess the implications of higher inflation for borrowing costs, liquidity and economic growth.
