Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, has been leading the project. The group entered the airport sector in 2019 and currently operates key airports in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. According to the company, Adani Airports now manages 25% of India’s passenger traffic and 33% of its air cargo movement.
