NEW DELHI: Infrastructure czar Gautam Adani has started a new airport company and plans to run airports both in India and abroad — like the early private entrants GMR and GVK groups. The group had last year emerged as the highest bidder for six airports that Airports Authority of India (AAI) wants to run PPP way for 50 years like the ones in Delhi and Mumbai. Last month, the Cabinet had cleared leasing out Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Mangaluru airports to the Group and nod for the remaining three — Jaipur, Trivandrum, and Guwahati — is expected shortly.
“Adani Enterprises Limited has incorporated a company namely ‘Adani Airports Limited’ on August 2, 2019…. (for) acquiring, promoting, operating, maintaining, developing, designing, constructing, upgrading.. and managing airports in India and abroad,” Adani Enterprises said in a regulatory filing on Saturday.
