## ANSWER

Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL AVIATION      (GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD))

(a) & (b): The details of expenditure by Airports Authority of India (AAI) and respective State Governments/Airport Developers  for construction of new  airports  and expansion of existing  airport works completed since 2019-20 are at Annexure-A.

(c): As per National Monetization Pipeline (NMP), 25 Airports Authority of India (AAI) airports namely, Bhubaneshwar,  Varanasi,  Amritsar,  Trichy,  Indore,  Raipur,  Calicut,  Coimbatore,  Nagpur,  Patna,  Madurai,  Surat, Ranchi, Jodhpur, Chennai, Vijayawada, Vadodara, Bhopal, Tirupati, Hubli, Imphal, Agartala, Udaipur, Dehradun and Rajahmundry have been earmarked for leasing over the years 2022 to 2025, considering proceeds of Rs. 10782 crore. However, the exact value of proceeds that the Government would receive is dependent upon many factors including transaction timing, market conditions, investor appetite, transaction terms etc. ; (d) & (e): AAI has leased out eight of its airports namely, Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mangaluru  and  Thiruvananthapuram  through  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP)  for  operation,  management  and development on long term lease basis. ; Out of these, Delhi and Mumbai airports were handed over in 2006. During the last five years i.e. from 2017-18 to 2021-22, AAI has received revenues of approximately Rs. 5500 crore from Delhi Airport and Rs. 5174 crore from Mumbai Airport.;;

The  06  Airports  recently  awarded  under  PPP  viz.  Mangaluru,  Lucknow,  Ahmedabad,  Guwahati,  Jaipur  and Thiruvananthapuram  have  been  handed  over  to  the  Concessionaires  on  31.10.2020,  02.11.2020,  07.11.2020, 08.10.2021,  11.10.2021  and  14.10.2021  respectively.  Till  December,  2022,  AAI  has  received  concession  fees  of approximately Rs. 824  crore  from  the  concessionaires  for  these  six  airports.  Further,  AAI  has  also  received  an amount of approximately Rs. 2349 crore in the form of upfront fee towards the capital expenditure incurred by AAI at these airports.;; ;

Government of India has set up an independent Regulator namely, Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) under the AERA Act, 2008 to determine the tariffs in respect of aeronautical services provided at major airports  in  the  country.  AERA  determines  aeronautical  tariff  based  on  traffic  projections,  fair  rate  of  return  on investment and provisions to meet operation and maintenance cost for a given control period of five years. ******
