Airports Authority of India (AAI), the government body charged with overseeing civil aviation infrastructure, plans to spend about Rs 25,000 crore in the next five years to expand and modify existing terminals, said government in Parliament.
The spending is part of several measures being undertaken by the Centre to revive civil aviation in India in the wake of severe disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, said MoS for Civil Aviation V K Singh, in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha on Monday.
Other measures being carried out include the major expansion of three public-private partnership (PPP) airports in Delhi, Hyderabad and Bengaluru for Rs 30,000 crore by 2025.
