Capacity at most Indian airports is set to saturate between the financial years ending 2028 and 2033. This is particularly true of the privately run airports at Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. Among the state-run facilities – Pune is already operating above its design capacity, while Chennai and Kolkata are expected to breach saturation by 2032, indicating urgent need for secondary greenfield airports at these places.
With the clock ticking fast, airport operators are faced with the stumbling block of infrastructure growth in their otherwise thriving business. Indian airport operators are projected to report a revenue of Rs 32,390 crore ($3.9 billion)
