Adani Group Plans ₹96,000 Crore Investment in Airports Business Over 5 Years

The Adani Group has announced plans to invest  ₹96,000 crore in its airport operations over the next 5 years. The investment will focus on infrastructure upgrades and real estate development across its network of airports, told Jeet Adani in an interview with Times Of India. A large portion of this capital will go to projects in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA)

The Navi Mumbai International Airport is scheduled to begin operations by October 2025. The first phase will be built at a cost of ₹19,000 crore and is expected to handle 20 million passengers annually. Future expansion plans include two terminal options: one with 3-CPA capacity costing around  ₹30,000 crore, and another with 5-CPA capacity at  ₹40,000-45,000 crore.

The group is aiming for a long-term capacity of 90 million passengers annually at NMIA. To achieve this, total investment in the Navi Mumbai project could reach up to  ₹1 lakh crore over time. Final decisions on the second terminal option are currently under evaluation.

Mumbai and Other Airports

In Mumbai, a new Terminal 1 is planned by 2032, with an estimated cost of  ₹5,000 crore. Upgrades and expansions are also planned at airports in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Thiruvananthapuram. The Lucknow airport is already undergoing expansion. A new terminal at Guwahati is expected to be ready by late 2025.

The group will finance these projects using a combination of internal accruals and debt refinancing. As per report, infrastructure planning is being coordinated with airline operations to support future passenger traffic growth.
