Celebi Takes Legal Action After India Revokes Clearance

20 May 2025 CW Team

Turkey-based Celebi Airport Services India has moved the Delhi High Court after its security clearance was revoked by the Indian government citing national security. The company called the move vague and unsupported by specific justification.

The action came amid growing backlash over Turkey’s perceived support for Pakistan. On May sixteen, India’s junior aviation minister Murlidhar Mohol announced the decision, stating it followed widespread requests to ban Celebi in national interest.

Celebi, which operates in New Delhi, Kerala, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Goa, argued that the decision endangers 3791 jobs and investor trust. It added that no prior notice was given, and that most of its group is controlled by non-Turkish entities despite Turkish-registered shareholders.

Shiv Sena, a key ally of the ruling government, led protests demanding termination of Celebi’s contracts. Delhi Airport confirmed on May sixteen it had officially ended ground handling and cargo ties with the firm.

Celebi also said it had earlier passed all security and intelligence agency checks in India. The case is expected to be heard in court on Monday.
