India Plans Global Roadshows to Attract Investors for Bundled Airport Privatisation
The Indian government plans to promote the privatisation of 11 airports by bundling them into five groups under 50-year lease agreements, with bidding starting by December and deals expected by the end of FY27. Roadshows will be held in international financial hubs like Dubai and Singapore to attract global investors, including sovereign wealth funds and Indian conglomerates. The government will cap the number of airports a single bidder can acquire to address market concentration concerns.
