India’s aviation sector is set for a major transformation as the Adani Group unveils an ambitious plan to invest $15 billion in expanding airport capacity across the country by 2030. According to a Bloomberg News report cited by Reuters, the conglomerate aims to increase annual passenger handling capacity across its airport network to 200 million within the next five years, marking one of the largest private sector investments in India’s airport infrastructure.

The expansion blueprint includes major upgrades such as new terminals, additional taxiways, and a brand-new runway at the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. Scheduled to open on December 25, this airport is expected to significantly ease congestion at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and emerge as a key aviation hub for western India.

Beyond Navi Mumbai, the Adani Group will also roll out substantial capacity enhancements at its existing airports in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, and Guwahati. These upgrades are aimed at modernizing infrastructure, improving operational efficiency, and meeting the rapidly growing passenger demand across India’s aviation landscape.

The group’s airport division currently operates eight airports, positioning it among the country’s largest private airport operators. The Navi Mumbai Airport, located on the outskirts of India’s financial capital, is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening the Group’s presence in the sector.

While the company has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for comment, reports indicate that the Adani Group has broader expansion plans in motion. In June, Bloomberg News revealed that the conglomerate aims to list its Adani Airports unit by 2027 as part of an extensive $100 billion investment strategy across multiple business verticals over the coming years.

As India’s air travel demand continues to soar, the Adani Group’s $15 billion commitment underscores its long-term vision to elevate the country’s aviation infrastructure, support economic growth, and position its airports as global-standard gateways for millions of travellers.
