According to our latest research report “India Airports Market Assessment”, rise in per capita income is making air travel more affordable for Indian travelers. It is anticipated that by FY 2015, Indian airports (including domestic and international) will handle close to 256 Million passengers. Country’s fast growing tourism industry will also add fuel to the market and improvise airport industry’s positive future outlook. The need for internationally benchmarked airports is increasing in nation. Therefore, non-metro cities are getting authority’s attention so as to develop Greenfield projects under Public private partnership in various parts of country so as to boost tourism and trade in the region.

Additionally, in the five years from FY 2011 to FY 2015 AAI expects 10% annual growth in international cargo traffic.  However, Indian airports have capacity constraints and are hampered by factors like inadequate parking bays, single runways and cargo handling and customs clearance capabilities that have led to congestion and delay. Therefore, AAI is in process of modernizing and expanding the cargo handling facilities.

Further, the airport sector has managed to attract considerable private interest. According to the 11th Plan projections, Private investment was expected to contribute INR 231.55 Billion, (US$ 4.63 Billion) which is 64% of the total investment in airport infrastructure. The PPP route has progressively gained importance and is being used either for modernization or construction of airports or only for city-side development at airports.

Our team of researchers has analyzed that rising investment and growing private participation in construction are the major strengths of the industry whereas insufficient airport services and poor infrastructure facilities are weakening this sector.

PPP airports are deploying numerous new technologies in India.
