It will use the majority of the proceeds from the seven-year $750m of senior secured private placement notes to refinance short term debt and provide new capital expenditure.

Apollo partner and emerging market debt global head Brigitte Posch said: “We are pleased to work with the Adani’s to provide a comprehensive, long-term capital solution for the Mumbai International Airport, a mission-critical infrastructure asset in India.”

Part of an airport network of eight airport assets under AAHL, CSMIA is said to be one of the world’s busiest single-runway airports, as well as the second-largest airport in India.

MIAL also has a 74% interest in Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited (NMIAL), which is a greenfield airport being built in Suburban Mumbai. It will serve as a ‘twin airport’ for travellers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
