massive ₹1 lakh crore over the next five years, while also
confirming that it is preparing for a potential IPO between 2027 and 2030.

will be deployed across:

infrastructure such as hotels, retail zones, offices, and logistics parks
A key focus will be on strengthening non-aeronautical
revenues, which are seen as critical for long-term profitability in airport

will be the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, which is
expected to significantly reduce congestion at Mumbai’s existing airport and
support the region’s long-term growth.

Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Guwahati, and plans to scale up capacity
across all locations.
