In July, Indian conglomerate Adani Group secured permission to transform its private airstrip at the Mundra port complex into a developed commercial airport.

Under the proposed development plan, Adani Group aims to establish a dedicated aerospace manufacturing building, among other facilities.

Adani Group currently manages an existing private airstrip at Mundra, spanning over 45ha of land.

It will be upgraded to a commercial airport, covering approximately 522ha.

Once operational in 2022, the international airport will be able to handle large aircraft such as the Boeing 747-400.

The airport development project is expected to create 8,000 jobs.

In August, Adani Group announced the formation of 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 overseeing any design, development, upgrade, and construction work.
