In a major boost to its long-term expansion plans, Adani Airports Holdings Ltd. (AAHL), the airport arm of Adani Enterprises Ltd., has raised $750 million via External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) from a consortium of leading international banks. The funding round, led by First Abu Dhabi Bank, Barclays PLC, and Standard Chartered Bank, reflects strong global investor confidence in India’s rapidly evolving aviation sector and AAHL’s strategic growth roadmap.

The raised capital will serve a dual purpose: refinancing $400 million in existing debt, and funding capacity expansion and infrastructure upgrades across six operational airports – Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. Additionally, part of the proceeds will support non-aeronautical business development, including retail, duty-free, food & beverage, and other commercial services that drive high-margin revenue streams at airports.

AAHL, which handled 94 million passengers in FY25 across its network with a combined capacity of 110 million, has set an ambitious goal of tripling its capacity to 300 million passengers annually by 2040. A key milestone in this journey will be the launch of the Navi Mumbai International Airport, expected to commence operations shortly. Phase 1 alone will add 20 million in incremental capacity, eventually scaling to 90 million passengers per year, further relieving traffic from the saturated Mumbai International Airport.
