Adani Airport City Plans Rs 200 Bn Investment

Adani Airport City Limited (AACL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), has announced a programme to develop integrated airport cities across its airport network. The first phase will involve an investment of more than Rs 20,000 crore and cover around 22 million sq ft across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur and Guwahati.

The development spans over 655 acres across six airports in five states. Nearly 440 acres are located in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, which will receive close to 70 per cent of the planned investment. The focus reflects the Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s role as a major commercial, financial and aviation hub.

The airport city model will combine hotels, offices, retail, dining, entertainment and convention facilities within walkable districts connected to airport, Metro and city transport networks. The developments are planned as extensions of the airport ecosystem rather than standalone real estate projects.

AAHL has also signed hotel management agreements with IHG Hotels & Resorts for five luxury and premium hotels, including the India debut of the Kimpton brand. All Airport City projects have received LEED Gold pre-certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, supporting sustainable design, resource efficiency and improved public spaces.
