USD12 billion investment in Indian airports forecast; govt and private sector must rise to challenge
India will attempt to coerce both the public and private sectors into a USD12 billion investment in new airports.
The aviation sector is already under pressure as a mini boom succeeds the pandemic, with multiple large scale orders being placed for aircraft.
Privatisation of airports has so far been limited to the major gateway ones and a handful of secondary ones, although more are in the pipeline. The existing concessionaires are, with a handful of exceptions such as at the new Mumbai and Delhi airports, seemingly risk averse to taking a gamble on new facilities.
Hence, and while more privatisation is anticipated, Airports Authority of India will have to take the lead in the construction of new airports.
