The Adani group has entered the airport sector by winning the bids to operate five airports in the country for the next 50 years. The bid for Guwahati airport will be opened on Tuesday.
The Adanis were the highest bidder for the Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, Mangalore and Jaipur airports, a senior Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said.
The AAI chose the winner on the basis of a “per-passenger fee” offered by the bidders. The airports would be handed over to the Adani group after the completion of formalities, the AAI official said.
The official said the bids put in by the Gautam Adani-led group were “very aggressive” compared with others.
