GMR Airport Shares Rose After Achieving Growth in Monthly Traffic in May 2025

On June 18, 2025, GMR Airports shares are in focus, trading ~1% higher to ₹83.79 at 10:10 AM. The gain in GMR Airports shares follows the release of the monthly traffic update for May 2025. The company in the exchange filing stated that it has handled over 1 crore passengers across its airport network in May 2025, which reflects a modest year-on-year (YoY) growth of 0.8%.

Growth Fuelled by International Traffic

According to a regulatory filing, GMR Airports handled over 10 million passengers during May, marking a modest year-on-year (YoY) increase of 0.8%. This growth was largely propelled by a 2.9% rise in international passenger traffic, offsetting a marginal 0.1% uptick in domestic travel, which was impacted by temporary operational challenges.

Aircraft traffic remained robust, with total aircraft movements (ATMs) reaching 64,931, up 6.3% compared to the same month last year.

Airport Wise Traffic

Despite constraints at Delhi Airport, including curtailed flight operations between May 6 and 20 due to heightened security protocols and temporary airspace restrictions related to a major geopolitical event, the airport achieved record-high year-to-date (YTD) figures for FY26. Delhi Airport handled 12.9 million passengers in May, up 0.8% YoY, while ATMs rose 3.5% YoY to 77,000.

Hyderabad Airport also delivered its best-ever monthly performance, registering record highs in both passenger footfall and flight movements.
