Adani Airports, a Subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, Raises $750 Million

On June 4, 2025, Adani Airports Holdings Ltd (AAHL), a part of Adani Enterprises and India's largest private airport operator, raised $750 million through External Commercial Borrowings (ECB). The funding comes from a group of international banks, including First Abu Dhabi Bank, Barclays PLC, and Standard Chartered Bank.

Use of Funds

The company plans to use $400 million of this fund to repay existing loans. The remaining amount will be directed towards expansion and development work at 6 airports — Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. The investment will also support the non-aeronautical side of the business, like retail stores, food courts, and duty-free outlets.

Passenger Growth and Expansion Plans

AAHL served 94 million passengers in FY25 and currently has a capacity of 110 million. The company has ambitious goals to triple this to 300 million by 2040. Part of this growth includes the launch of the Navi Mumbai International Airport, expected to handle 20 million passengers in its first phase and scale up to 90 million.

Arun Bansal, CEO of AAHL, said the deal reflects global confidence in India’s airport infrastructure. He emphasised the company’s focus on customer service, technology, sustainability, and community development.

Legal assistance for the deal was provided by Latham and Watkins LLP, Linklaters LLP (English Law), and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, TT&A (Indian Law).
