About the sale launch and price spurt

EaseMyTrip’s new Winter Carnival Sale is timed perfectly for people planning Christmas and New Year trips, a period when travel usually becomes expensive and chaotic. By running the sale from December 2 to 9, the company is giving travellers a chance to lock in winter plans with meaningful savings, whether it’s 14% off on flights, 25% off on hotels, or budget holiday packages starting at Rs 7,999. With extra bank offers and perks from partner brands, the campaign feels designed to make year-end travel easier on the wallet and simpler to book.

At a broader level, this launch showcases EaseMyTrip’s push to stay ahead in the crowded travel space. The sale covers a massive lineup of airline and hotel partners, ensuring that travellers aren’t limited by choice or destination. Combined with the company’s “zero convenience fee” positioning, the campaign reinforces EaseMyTrip’s image as a value-driven platform that understands customer needs during peak season. With big discounts, wide coverage, and curated holiday packages, the Winter Carnival Sale is meant to spark early winter bookings and strengthen the company’s connection with frequent travellers.

Following the news, the shares witnessed a trading volume of 283 million, whereas the shares in the previous week were trading at an average volume of 7 million; this is almost 34 times its average volume, which led to the 20% share price jump. 

Financials and more

The revenue from operations stands at Rs 145 crore in Q2 FY25 and Rs 118 crore in Q2 FY26, showcasing a YoY fall of 17%. Along with the sales, the profits also fell from Rs 27 crore in Q2 FY25 to an Rs 36 crore loss in Q2 FY26. 

EaseMyTrip is one of India’s most well-established online travel platforms, growing steadily from a small startup in 2008 to a major player in air ticket bookings today. What sets the company apart is how it has built a complete travel ecosystem by covering flights, hotels, holiday packages, trains, buses, cabs, and more, so customers can plan every part of a trip in one place. 

With access to over 400 airlines and nearly 3 million hotels worldwide, the platform gives travellers plenty of choice whether they’re exploring India or heading abroad.
