After deciding to privatise six major airports in February this year, the Central government is planning to privatise 20-25 more in the next phase with an expectation that there will be a significant participation by foreign airports, said AAI Chairman Guruprasad Mohapatra on Friday.
Adani Group had won the bids to operate, manage and develop the six airports — Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and Guwahati — which the Airports Authority of India had put up for privatisation in the first round.
“We have privatised six airports… We are now planning to privatise 20-25 airports in next phase,” said Mohapatra at a press briefing here.
