AS ENVISAGED UNDER the national monetisation pipeline, these airports will be leased out on long-term concession through the public-private partnership (PPP) model for operation, management and development.

“We expect the public private partnership appraisal committee (PPPAC) to clear the proposal for PPPs in airport operations and management over the next two months, after which RFPs (requests for proposal) will be invited,” a senior official said.

The official added that the government is aiming to raise around ₹6,000 crore in 2026-27 from leasing these 11 airports. The proceeds will likely be deployed by AAI for further expansion and creation of new airport assets in the country.

Officials in the Ministry of Civil Aviation said five airport operators — domestic and international — have so far expressed interest in the bidding.
