Riding the Wave of Aviation Growth:

Amidst a surge in passenger numbers and a significant rise in domestic air travel, India is making substantial investments, exceeding INR 60,000 crore, in airport infrastructure between 2025 and 2027. Projections indicate a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8–9% in passenger growth, underscoring the critical need for next-generation terminal solutions. The 14.5% increase in domestic air traffic witnessed in January 2025 further highlights the aviation sector’s vital role in the nation’s economic development. Supported by strong central and state leadership, India is on track to become one of the top three global aviation markets by 2052.
