Adani Enterprises plans to invest approx. Rs one trillion (USD 11 billion) in its airport infrastructure business over the next five years, aiming to significantly expand its presence across India.
Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Airport Holdings (AAHL), stated that the Group intends to bid for all 11 airports that the Central government plans to lease out to private operators as part of its airport privatisation drive. This initiative aligns with India's long-term goal of increasing its airport network to 200 by 2047, up from the current 163. Adani Airports, which currently operates seven airports, including those in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, is set to become the largest operator in the country.
The Rs one trillion investment will be used for upgrading terminals, runways, aircraft handling, and amenities. "Our focus will be on infrastructure, not the airline business," Jeet Adani emphasised, highlighting the company’s commitment to enhancing airport facilities.
