India Plans Sale of AAI Stakes in Delhi and Mumbai Airports Under Monetisation Pipeline
The Indian government plans to sell the Airports Authority of India's (AAI) 26% stakes in Delhi and Mumbai airports as part of the National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 to raise funds amid fiscal pressures linked to geopolitical tensions. The divestment, expected to begin in the coming months, aims to generate around Rs 2,800 crore in FY27 and Rs 2,950 crore in FY28 through private placements. The plan also includes monetising stakes in an AAI subsidiary and four joint venture airports, with investor interest anticipated due to the airports' scale and earnings potential.
