The aviation industry in India is one of the fastest growing in the world due to government reforms and policies. It contributes around 0.5% to India's GDP currently but is expected to contribute 5% by 2030 due to strong annual growth rates of around 24%. Key factors driving this growth include rising incomes, increased tourism and business travel, and competitive domestic airlines. However, challenges remain around modernizing fleets, expanding airport infrastructure, and reducing costs. The government is seeking to address these through policies to attract foreign investment, develop regional airports, and upgrade major hubs to handle over 100 million passengers annually by 2020.

Sector structure/Market size
• The Indian aviation industry is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world.
• The government's open sky policy has led to many overseas players entering the market and the
industry has been growing both in terms of players and number of aircrafts. Today, private airlines
account for around 75 % share of the domestic aviation market.

resulted in bringing down the average fares of airlines as a whole by about 30 per cent and thereby
increasing demand from the domestic passenger market.

14. How aviation industry is effecting India's economy?
10 years back there were just 2 airlines. Both state owned . In the
last 10years the economy has opened up. India has experienced
growth rate of 8% per year.
• The main factors which effect the Indian Economy are:-
1. Increased no. of domestic airlines
2. Low cost airlines
3. India's improving economy

• Increased competition has driven down prices and
margins
• Additional purchasing power due to rapidly rising
real incomes amongst the middle class
• Increased business trade due to the rapidly growing
economy and free trade agreements with
neighbouring countries
• Favourable Government policies and tax reforms

16. Challenges

20. PPP IN INDIAN AIRPORTS
Need for Private Participation in Airport Infrastructure
To bridge the resource gap for achieving the
following objectives -
 To build world-class airports with modern technology and
efficient management practices.
 To make the airport user friendly and achieve higher level
of customer satisfaction.
 To lay special emphasis on the development of
infrastructure for remote and inaccessible areas.
 To provide airport capacity ahead of demand.
 To encourage greater efficiency in Airport Operations.

21. Airport Development Process has taken off in the country -
• The process of development of airports through
PPP in the country began with CIAL.
• Two new Green field airports were thereafter
approved for Bangalore and Hyderabad.
• On 3rd May 2006 the Airports At Mumbai and
Delhi were handed over to Joint Venture
Companies.
• Of 35 non metro airports being taken up for
modernization PPP has been approved for the city
side development of 10 airports.
• Proposals for a number of green field airports have
been received from various State Govts.

22. First Indian Airport in Private Sector
• First Indian Airport in Private Sector is under
construction at Cochin. It is being constructed
by the company named “Cochin International
Airport Ltd.”
Proposed Private owned airports:
 Gwalior (M.P.)
 Durgapur (W.B.)
 Jhajjar (Haryana)

23. Major Airports

24. Problem & Solution
• Increased traffic and cargo growth has led to congestion/
saturation at different airports in India , e.g. Mumbai, Delhi,
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai etc.
• Hence, country requires
– New Airports
– Expansion of capacity at existing airports
– Induction of Technology for efficient handling of Passenger and cargo.
– Better Management Practices
• For all this additional funds to the tune of Rs. 40,000 crores + Rs.
454 crores for airports in North East are required (details shown in
next slide).
– The annual requirement of funds in the future is expected to be much more
than the AAI can generate.

25. Major Investments
 Over the past year, various companies have shown an interest in the
Indian aviation industry. Investment in airport infrastructure was over
US$ 5 billion in 2008 and will go up US$ 9 billion by 2013, of which close
to US$ 6.8 billion is expected to come through public private partnerships
(PPP) model, according to a study by research firm Frost & Sullivan.
 Tata Advanced System Limited (TAS), a unit of the Tata Group, will set up
a US$ 113.63 million helicopter manufacturing unit at the Aerospace
Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Adhibatla village near the Hyderabad
international airport. Further, the company has formed a joint venture
with US-based Sikorsky Aircraft to make aerospace components in India.

 US aircraft maker, Boeing Co, will deliver 100 planes worth US$ 17 billion
over the next four to five years to India.

26. Major Investments
Changi Airports International is ready to enter into joint ventures
with more Indian companies in developing airports. The company,
which has picked up a 26 per cent stake for US$ 20 million in
Bengal Aerotropolis Pvt Ltd (BAPL) is looking at other
opportunities.
State-owned aerospace firm Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
has signed an agreement with Boeing to supply flaperons for the
Boeing's 777 series commercial jetliners. It is understood that HAL
will supply 600 units of flaperons to Boeing which will be delivered
in phases by 2019.
European passenger plane maker Airbus SAS will move 20 per cent
of its engineering and design activities to low-cost countries, a
majority of it to India, by 2012.

27. Road Ahead
• The Indian aviation sector is likely to see clear skies ahead in the years to come.
• Passenger traffic is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15 per cent in the next 5 years.
• The Vision 2020 statement announced by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, envisages creating
infrastructure to handle 280 million passengers by 2020.
• Investment opportunities of US$ 110 billion envisaged up to 2020 with US$ 80 billion in new
aircraft and US$ 30 billion in development of airport infrastructure.
• Associated areas such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and training offer high
investment potential. A report by Ernst & Young says the MRO category in the aviation sector can
absorb up to US$ 120 billion worth of investments by 2020.
• Aerospace major Boeing forecasts that the Indian market will require 1,000 commercial jets in the
next 20 years, which will represent over 3 per cent of Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ forecasted
market worldwide. This makes India a US$ 100 billion market in 20 years.
