The Adani group has won the bid to operate for 50 years five out of six airports that were put for privatisation by the central Government, a senior Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said on Monday.
The Adanis were the highest bidder for the Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, Mangaluru and Jaipur airports, the official said, adding the bid for the Guwahati airport will be opened on Tuesday.
The AAI chose the winner on the basis of “per-passenger fee” offered by the bidders. The five airports would be handed over to the Adani group after completion of formalities, the AAI official said.
The official said the bids put by the Adani group were “very aggressive” as compared to others.
