The GoI has recognised the need to involve private players in developing world-class airport infrastructure, based on the high growth of traffic handled at airports since 2005. With changing government policies, the involvement of private players is gradually increasing in the sector.
With business activity growing, the demand for non-scheduled airline services is increasing. In 200809, the country was home to 99 non-scheduled airline operators with a combined fleet of 241 aircraft, compared with 65 operators with a combined fleet of 201 aircraft in 200708.

User-development fees
Airport developers and operators in the country are charging user-development fees (with permission from the GoI to increase their aeronautical revenues). For instance, the airports at Delhi and Mumbai are charging an airport-development fee (ADF) to fund their expansion plans, while the Hyderabad and Bengaluru airports are charging a user-development fee (UDF) to fund the maintenance and management of facilities at these airports.
Indian airports have been trying to follow the SEZ-aerotropolis model, which focuses on enhancing non-aeronautical revenues, including revenues from areas such as retail, advertising and vehicle parking. This provides the airport operator with a cushion to offset costs and funds for future growth and modernisation. The introduction of low-cost airlines, which, in general, do not offer complementary refreshment and sell a very limited variety of snacks and drinks, has given impetus to the food and beverages retail segment at airports.

Key players
Until recently, the AAI was the only major player involved in developing and upgrading airports in the country. However, private-sector players are now becoming increasingly involved in the sector. Some major private sector players include:
Company/Group GMR Infrastructure Ltd GVK Power and Infrastructure Ltd Siemens Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Unique Zurich Maytas Infrastructure Limited Major projects Development of Hyderabad International Airport; modernisation of Delhi International Airport Modernisation of Mumbai International Airport Development of Bengaluru International Airport Development of Bengaluru International Airport Development of Bengaluru International Airport Development of Simoga Airport (Karnataka) and Gulbarga Airport (Karnataka) in the build, operate and transfer (BOT) mode

The GoI has approved the policy for greenfield airports in April 2008 to enable the development of greenfield airports in the PPP mode. The Planning Commission has also developed a model concession agreement (MCA) to enable state governments to develop greenfield airports under the PPP mode. The GoI has allowed 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route for greenfield airports. For existing airports, 100 per cent FDI is allowed. However, for FDI exceeding 74 per cent, approval is required from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
25
The GoI has allowed 100 per cent tax exemption on airport projects for a 10-year period. Further, the GoI allows airport developers to charge passengers a development fee. In 2009, a separate regulator authority, the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) has been established to provide a level playing field and healthy competition between all airports.
26
FDI of up to 49 per cent is allowed in the domestic airlines sector under the automatic route, but not in the case of foreign airline companies. However, non-resident Indians (NRIs) can hold up to 100 per cent equity in domestic airlines. The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MOCA) has raised the FDI limit in cargo airlines from 49 to 74 per cent. With the rise in fuel prices, the GoI has exempted the 5 per cent customs duty levied on jet fuel to help airlines reduce their operational costs. Some states, including Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra (excluding Mumbai and Pune), have reduced their sales tax on aviation turbine fuel (ATF). On 22 May 2010, the GoI established the Civil Aviation Safety Advisory Council (CASAC) under the Director General of Civil Aviation.

Five international airport projects have been undertaken under the PPP mode. These include the modernisation of the international airports in Delhi and Mumbai and the development of the Cochin, Hyderabad and Bengaluru international airports. The Planning Commission has also developed an MCA to enable state governments to develop greenfield airports under the PPP mode. The GoI is planning the city-side development of 24 non-metro airports in collaboration with private players. The AAI is currently inviting bids for the city-side development of the Lucknow, Jaipur, Amritsar, Udaipur, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Indore, Ahmedabad and Guwahati airports. Under the revised Eleventh Five Year Plan (20072012), the GoI expects an investment of around US$ 7.5 billion (INR 361.3 billion) for the development of airport infrastructure in the country. Of this, 64 per cent is expected to come from the private sector.
Airport connectivity
The MOCA is focusing on improving connectivity to major airports. It has selected 12 airports in the first phase. These include the Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Cochin, Coimbatore and the proposed Navi Mumbai and Noida airports. The GoI is promoting the expansion of air connectivity between tier-II and tier-III cities and has introduced a separate category named Scheduled Air Transport (Regional) Services.

Opportunities (2/2)
The substantial increase in international air traffic and the growth in the fleet size of domestic airlines has given India the opportunity to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to these airlines.
International passenger and cargo traffic have increased at CAGR of 12.1 per cent and 9.1 per cent, respectively between 200405 and 20092010. International tourist traffic is expected to increase up to 50 million by 2015.
MRO facilities
The demand for MRO services has increased substantially in the past five years. In India there is only one established third-party MRO facility. So, there exists an opportunity for MRO services in the country. Both greenfield and brownfield airport projects have a strong focus on setting up MRO facilities. The countrys aviation sector has investment opportunities worth US$ 150 billion and GoI has invited Canadian and other global companies to participate.
Between April 2000 and August 2010, FDI in the air transport sector (including air freight) amounted to US$ 317.28 million.
The GoI is taking initiatives and liberalising foreign investment conditions to encourage foreigninvestor participation in the civil aviation sector.
The GoI has allowed 100 per cent FDI for greenfield airports under the automatic route.
The MOCA has raised the FDI limit for cargo airlines from 49 per cent to 74 per cent.
Under its open sky policy, the GoI is gradually liberalising air services in the country and is seeking increased traffic rights through bilateral agreements with foreign countries such as the UAE, Mexico, Thailand and Germany.
