Indian airliner IndiGo, today announced that it will offer unlimited free travel to ‘Gold Medallist’ Neeraj Chopra for a period of one year.

Ronojoy Dutta, Whole-time Director & Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo said, “Neeraj we were all overjoyed to hear about your remarkable achievement.

Chopra on Saturday became only the second Indian to win an individual gold in the Olympics, outperforming the field by some distance to immortalise himself as the first track-and-field Games medal-winner for the country.
Chopra, the 23-year-old son of a farmer from Khandra village near Panipat in Haryana, produced a second-round throw of 87.58m in the finals to stun the athletics world and end India's 100-year wait for a track and field medal in the Olympics.
Another company, Mahindra & Mahindra has announced that it will be gifting Chopra a new SUV XUV700. The SUV is yet to be launched in India and Mahindra is expected to give the first unit to the Olympics champion.
