New Delhi, June 29: India’s airport infrastructure sector is expected to attract investments of up to ₹4.2 lakh crore by 2029, driven by rapid growth in air traffic, expansion of regional connectivity, and large-scale modernization of aviation facilities across the country.
The projected investment reflects ongoing and planned development of new greenfield airports, expansion of existing terminals, upgradation of cargo facilities, and enhancement of aviation-related services to meet rising passenger demand.
Officials said the growth in the sector is being supported by policy reforms, increasing private sector participation, and the government’s focus on improving regional air connectivity under key aviation development programmes. The expansion is also expected to boost tourism, trade, logistics, and employment opportunities.
Industry stakeholders noted that India’s aviation sector is among the fastest-growing in the world, with rising middle-class travel demand and increased connectivity to smaller cities playing a major role in driving infrastructure requirements.
The development is expected to position India as one of the leading aviation markets globally over the coming years, with a strong emphasis on modern, efficient, and sustainable airport infrastructure.
