Last month, GVK Power & Infrastructure agreed to divest a 79.1% holding in its airport business for Rs76.14bn ($1.07bn) in a bid to increase its stake in MIAL.

The deal was part of the company’s strategy to stop attempts by Adani Group to acquire a stake in MIAL.

In July, GVK received CCI’s clearance to acquire an additional 10% stake held by ACSA Global in MIAL.

Meanwhile, in August, Adani Group announced plans to set up a new entity to manage its airport businesses in India and abroad.

Adani Airports will be responsible for acquiring, promoting, operating and maintaining the group’s airports, as well as managing design, development, upgrade and construction work.

In February, Adani Group won a tender to operate all six government-owned Indian airports located in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, and Guwahati.
