Today, 22 of these airports have become non-operational.

Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol presented the data in the Rajya Sabha on August 4 while replying to a query posed by Congress MP Jebi Mather Hisam. The MP wanted to know details of Indian airports operating at a loss and if there were any plans to shut those with negligible flight operations. She also wanted to know if any financial aid was being offered to underperforming airports.

Data released for the years from 2015-2016 to 2024-2025 reveals the 81 airports across the country have cumulatively suffered a ₹10,852.9-crore loss. Delhi's Safdarjung airport has suffered the most, incurring a loss of ₹673.91 crore.
