What GMR Airports does

GMR Group's airport operator running Delhi and Hyderabad airports plus stakes in overseas airports.

Earns regulated charges from airlines and passengers under long-term state concessions, with the tariffs set by the government's airport regulator, plus shops, food, advertising and cargo income that is not regulated. Delhi and Hyderabad are the cash base, and it shares part of the Delhi revenue with the state. Goa's Mopa airport, opened in 2023, extends the range.

In one line: A private US-style airport operator, like a local Vinci Airports.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Airport infrastructure
  • Airport development, operations…
  • Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa, Visakhapatnam…

What could go right

  • Rising Indian air-passenger traffic
  • Expansion into new international airport concessions

What could go wrong

  • Regulatory tariff-setting risk on aeronautical charges
  • High capex/leverage for airport expansion

Moat: wide (regulatory licence, scale, installed base). Long-term government concessions on India's busiest airports are effectively irreplicable local monopolies.
