New Delhi, Dec 3: The Adani Group has announced an ambitious five-year plan to invest $15 billion to dramatically expand its airport infrastructure across India. The project aims to boost the group’s total annual passenger capacity to 200 million, as the company prepares to list its airports business.

The expansion includes major upgrades to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport slated to open on December 25 with new terminals, additional taxiways and an extra runway to handle growing demand. Alongside Navi Mumbai, several other regional airports under Adani’s management will see upgrades as well, including those in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow and Guwahati, enhancing connectivity and capacity across the country.

According to sources, around 70 percent of the investment will be raised via debt, while the remaining portion will come through equity, highlighting the group’s confidence in the growth potential of India’s aviation sector.

Industry analysts expect that India’s air passenger traffic could exceed 300 million annually by 2030. With its aggressive expansion strategy, Adani aims to cater to a significant portion of this demand, positioning itself as a dominant force in the country’s civil aviation landscape.

The scale and scope of this endeavour reflect not only a major infrastructure push but also a strategic bet on long-term growth in air travel. With upgrades underway and new capacity coming soon, the Adani-led airports network may well redefine India’s aviation map in the years to come.
