The Union Cabinet on Wednesday is likely to take up the next round of airport privatisation. The Airports Authority of India’s proposal to sign a concession agreement with Adani Enterprises for public-private partnership of airports in Guwahati, Jaipur, and Thiruvananthapuram is lined up for consideration, an official said.
These are part of the six airports won by the Adani group under a competitive bidding process. In February, the group signed a concession agreement with the AAI for managing airports in Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Mangalore but approval regarding the other three was deferred. Privatisation has also been challenged in high courts in Assam and Kerala but a government official said there was no order against the process.
