The government identified 13 sectors under the ambitious NMP, including airports, to monetise their brownfield infrastructure assets. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revealed on Monday that the airport sector contributes 4% to the overall Rs 6 lakh crore NMP.

According to the NMP document, 25 significant AAI airports are considered for monetisation over FY 2022-25. These airports include Dehradun, Ranchi, Jodhpur, Patna, Tirupati, Udaipur, Indore, Coimbatore, Vadodara and Vijayawada.

The AAI identified six airports during the current fiscal in Tier 2/Tier 3 cities like Varanasi, Indore, Trichy, Amritsar, Bhubaneswar and Raipur, for monetisation through brownfield PPP models.

The AAI handles 137 airports, including ten customs airports, 103 domestic airports and 24 international airports. The AAI is a legal body constituted by an Act of Parliament responsible for upgrading, creating, maintaining and managing civil aviation infrastructure on both the ground and air space in the country.
