The Adani Group plans to invest between ₹90,000 crore and ₹1 lakh crore in its airport business over the next five years as it accelerates expansion across its aviation portfolio and prepares for a sharp rise in passenger traffic. The announcement coincided with the commencement of commercial flight operations at Adani Mundra Airport in Gujarat.
The investment programme will cover airport infrastructure, terminal expansion, airside facilities, commercial development and city-side projects across airports operated by the group. Adani Airports currently manages a network that includes Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram, Mangaluru and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport.
Speaking on the group’s aviation plans, Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Airport Holdings, said the company remains focused on the Indian market and expects its airport business to expand three to four times over the next five to six years. The group has also indicated that it will continue pursuing opportunities in future airport privatisation programmes.
The announcement came as Mundra Airport launched its first scheduled commercial flight service, connecting Kutch with Mumbai and Goa through Star Air. The airport is expected to strengthen connectivity for the region and complement the logistics ecosystem built around Mundra Port and the Mundra Special Economic Zone.
Adani Group sees significant growth potential in India’s aviation sector, driven by rising passenger demand, airport modernisation and increasing regional connectivity. The planned investments will support capacity augmentation, new terminals, additional runways and commercial infrastructure across the group’s airport network.
Navi Mumbai International Airport remains one of the group’s flagship projects and is expected to play a central role in its expansion strategy. Alongside infrastructure upgrades, the company is also focusing on non-aeronautical revenues through retail, hospitality, digital services and airport-linked real estate development.
With commercial operations now commencing at Mundra and major investments planned across its aviation portfolio, the Adani Group is positioning itself for the next phase of growth in India’s airport sector.
