The stock closed with a day change of -3.27%, reflecting persistent downward momentum throughout the trading session. This decline aligns with the stock's recent trend, marking the second consecutive day of losses. Over the past two sessions, the stock has fallen by 3.46%, signalling a continuation of short-term weakness.

Technical Indicators and Moving Averages
From a technical perspective, Interglobe Aviation is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This positioning suggests a bearish trend across multiple timeframes, reinforcing the current negative momentum. The stock's inability to sustain levels above these averages indicates a lack of short-term buying support and potential resistance at higher price points.
Such technical weakness often reflects cautious sentiment among market participants, who may be awaiting clearer signals before committing to fresh positions. The sustained trading below these averages also highlights the challenges the stock faces in reversing its recent downtrend.

Market Sentiment and Broader Index Movements
The decline in Interglobe Aviation shares occurred against a backdrop of negative market sentiment. The Sensex, after opening flat with a marginal gain of 24.28 points, reversed course to close down by 522.63 points, or 0.61%, at 81,846.33. This broad market weakness exerted additional pressure on stocks across sectors, including airlines.
Despite some indices such as NIFTY CPSE, NIFTY METAL, and S&P Bse PSU reaching new 52-week highs on the same day, the overall market mood was cautious. The Sensex is currently trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50-day average remains above the 200-day moving average, indicating a mixed medium-term technical outlook for the broader market.
Comparative Performance Over Various Timeframes
Interglobe Aviation's recent performance contrasts with the broader market's relative stability. The stock's one-day decline of 3.36% significantly outpaced the Sensex's 0.63% fall. Over the past week, the stock has lost 6.61%, compared to a 0.59% drop in the Sensex. The one-month and three-month returns for Interglobe Aviation stand at -9.76% and -21.03%, respectively, while the Sensex has declined by 3.39% and 3.73% over the same periods.
Year-to-date, the stock has fallen by 9.31%, underperforming the Sensex's 3.99% decline. However, longer-term returns remain robust, with three-year gains of 119.29%, five-year returns of 196.96%, and a ten-year appreciation of 425.21%, all substantially outperforming the Sensex benchmarks for the same durations.
Mojo Score and Rating Update
Interglobe Aviation currently holds a Mojo Score of 33.0, reflecting a cautious outlook. The stock's Mojo Grade was downgraded from Hold to Sell on 3 Dec 2025, signalling a deterioration in its fundamental and technical assessment. The Market Cap Grade remains at 1, indicating a relatively lower market capitalisation standing within its peer group.
The downgrade and current score align with the observed price pressures and technical weakness, underscoring the challenges the stock faces in the near term.

Sectoral Context and Immediate Pressures
The airline sector's decline of 2.77% on the day reflects ongoing pressures impacting the industry. Factors such as fluctuating fuel prices, regulatory considerations, and demand variability continue to influence sector performance. Interglobe Aviation's sharper decline relative to the sector suggests company-specific factors may be amplifying the selling pressure.
Trading below all major moving averages further compounds the stock's challenges, as technical traders may view this as a signal to reduce exposure. The stock's recent consecutive falls and underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector indices highlight the immediate pressures weighing on its price.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Interglobe Aviation Ltd's stock performance on 29 Jan 2026 was characterised by:
- An intraday low of Rs 4,594.20, down 3.25%
- A day change of -3.27%, exceeding the airline sector's -2.77% decline
- Trading below all key moving averages (5, 20, 50, 100, 200 days)
- A Mojo Score of 33.0 with a Sell rating since 3 Dec 2025
- Underperformance relative to the Sensex across multiple timeframes
These factors collectively illustrate the stock's current vulnerability amid a cautious market environment and sectoral headwinds.
Conclusion
Interglobe Aviation Ltd's intraday low and overall price pressure on 29 Jan 2026 reflect a continuation of recent negative trends. The stock's technical positioning below all major moving averages and its downgrade to a Sell rating contribute to the subdued sentiment. Broader market weakness, particularly in the airline sector, has compounded these pressures, resulting in a sharper decline than the benchmark indices. Investors and market participants will likely monitor the stock's ability to stabilise and regain key technical levels in the coming sessions.
