Adani Plans Rs 1 Trillion Investment to Expand Airport Business

Adani Enterprises is set to invest Rs 1 trillion in its airport business over the next five to ten years as it seeks to transform Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) into a global aviation leader. The group currently operates seven airports across India—Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram—and intends to significantly scale operations both domestically and internationally.
According to media reports, the investment will focus on expanding terminal capacity, enhancing cargo infrastructure, and developing city-side assets such as hotels, commercial spaces, and business parks. AAHL also plans to strengthen its logistics, warehousing, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, aiming to turn its airports into comprehensive infrastructure ecosystems rather than mere travel hubs. Portions of the fund will be allocated to digitisation, automation, and sustainable initiatives including green energy adoption and carbon footprint reduction.
The company targets increasing annual passenger handling capacity from around 85 million currently to over 250 million in the coming years. It also expects non-aeronautical revenues—those not directly linked to air travel—to contribute substantially to its overall earnings.
Adani’s airport strategy aligns with its broader infrastructure portfolio encompassing ports, logistics, and energy. By integrating these sectors, the group plans to provide end-to-end solutions for global and domestic movement of people and goods. The long-term objective is to develop globally benchmarked airport ecosystems that drive economic growth and enhance India’s connectivity with the world.
