Another possibility too: The IPO, when it eventually occurs, might only be partial, leaving Indigo as majority shareholders, and in charge for a very long time.

If you took to flipping a house and suddenly realized it commanded 3x market rent, was appreciating like a rocket ship, and you were smart, you'd postpone your plans to sell it.

The airline is too valuable - It will only be parted with, whether to the public or another corporation, when the same output (which is minimal) of energy and investment can make more elsewhere.
