Adani Group Plans $15 Billion Airport Expansion by 2030
The Adani Group has announced a major expansion plan worth around USD 15 billion to upgrade and expand its airport network across India by 2030. The company aims to increase total passenger-handling capacity across its airports to nearly 200 million annually in the next five years.
What the Expansion Includes
The investment will go toward building new terminals, expanding existing ones, adding taxiways and, in some cases, constructing new runways. A significant part of the plan centres on the Navi Mumbai International Airport, scheduled to begin operations on December 25, 2025.
Several existing airports operated by the group — including those in Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati — will undergo phased upgrades to manage rising passenger traffic and improve overall infrastructure.
How It Will Be Funded
Adani Group expects about 70 percent of the expansion funding to come through debt, while the remaining amount will be backed by equity. The group is also preparing for a potential stock market listing of its airports business, which analysts say could strengthen its financial base for future expansion.
Why This Matters
India’s air travel demand is growing rapidly, outpacing infrastructure at several major airports. Adani’s planned investment is expected to ease congestion, expand regional connectivity and significantly boost the aviation sector’s capacity. If executed as planned, it would become one of the largest private investments in Indian aviation infrastructure.
