GMR Plans Rs 140 Billion Expansion of Hyderabad Airport

GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL) has announced a Rs 140 billion capital expenditure plan to expand the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) by fiscal year 2030–31. The move aims to significantly enhance Hyderabad’s role as a key aviation and trade hub, accommodating rising passenger and cargo volumes.

The expansion blueprint includes upgrading the current terminal, constructing a new terminal, building a second runway, and strengthening connectivity through improved road links and metro access. GMR will also ramp up parking and cargo facilities as part of the plan.

The airport, India’s fourth largest, has seen passenger traffic rise from 18.3 million in FY18 to 29.5 million, highlighting the need for modernised infrastructure. The planned upgrades are expected to ensure RGIA’s long-term capability to serve both domestic and international travellers and support expanding logistics operations.

By FY31, the expansion will position Hyderabad airport as a high-capacity, future-ready facility, poised to meet evolving aviation demands.
