As per news report, Adani Airport Holdings Ltd., part of Gautam Adani's conglomerate, is set to invest over $11 billion in its airport business by 2030.
The company aims to expand its operations by acquiring new terminals, upgrading infrastructure, and venturing into aircraft maintenance.
The company plans to allocate ₹1 trillion ($11.1 billion) towards developing terminals, runways, and passenger amenities. Jeet Adani, director at Adani Airport Holdings, revealed these plans during an interview at the group's new airport near Mumbai. The investment will also focus on expanding into aircraft maintenance services.
Adani Airport Holdings currently operates 7 airports, including those in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, and aims to acquire 11 more airports slated for privatisation. The targeted airports may include those in Varanasi, Bhubaneswar, and Amritsar, as the government seeks private investment by bundling loss-making facilities with profitable ones.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport is a key project in Adani's expansion strategy. Scheduled to open on December 25, the first phase of the airport represents a ₹20,000 crore investment and will handle 2 crore passengers annually. A second phase is planned with an additional ₹30,000 crore investment.
The airport will feature a ₹5,000 crore "Aero City" with 20 hotels and a monorail. It will also introduce an advanced baggage-tracing system and a diverse culinary offering, ranging from affordable local snacks to Michelin-star meals.

Adani Airport Holdings is preparing for an initial public offering by March 2028, likely through a demerger from Adani Enterprises Ltd. Jeet Adani emphasised that a demerger could unlock greater value for shareholders.
The IPO will depend on achieving milestones such as successful operations at Navi Mumbai, completion of commercial developments, and financial self-sustainability.
The unit is currently EBITDA positive, but not yet cash-flow positive, a goal expected to be reached within 3 years.
Adani Airport Holdings' ambitious $11 billion investment plan aims to significantly expand its airport operations by 2030. With a focus on acquiring new terminals, enhancing infrastructure, and entering aircraft maintenance, the company is positioning itself for an IPO by 2028. The Navi Mumbai International Airport project is central to this expansion strategy.
