Investment in airport infrastructure is projected to exceed Rs. 60,000 crore during 2025-2027, driven by increased passenger traffic and tariff adjustments. The number of passengers at Indian airports is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8-9 per cent across 2025-2027, with domestic traffic being the major contributor. According to ICRA, air traffic is projected to increase 8-11 per cent year-on-year, reaching 407-418 million passengers this fiscal year. 

Domestic passenger traffic in January 2025 alone surged 14.5 per cent year-on-year, exceeding pre-Covid levels by 17.9 per cent. With India poised to become one of the world’s top three aviation markets in passenger traffic by 2052, the need for cutting-edge airport infrastructure and seamless passenger experiences has never been greater.

In a press statement, Taher Patrawala, Managing Director of Media Fusion LLC said: "This event will serve as a catalyst for collaboration, technology adoption, and strategic partnerships as we bring the latest advancements, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative solutions in the field of airport passenger terminal design, operations, and enhanced passenger experiences, to the Indian aviation sector.”

Suresh Khadakbhavi, CEO, Digi Yatra Foundation said: ”India’s airport landscape is undergoing a remarkable transformation driven by innovation, enhanced connectivity, and sustained policy focus. In just a decade, the number of operational airports has more than doubled, from 74 to nearly 160, underscoring the scale of opportunity. With a 6 per cent rise in domestic traffic in 2024, India now ranks just behind China in global air travel growth.”
