Airport Operation Market In Opportunity NitinNitin Rajan
The Indian airport operation market presents opportunities for private investment and growth. Factors fueling growth include rising domestic and international passenger traffic, expansion of medical tourism, and growth of low-cost airlines. The government is encouraging private investment in airlines and infrastructure through policies allowing 100% FDI and tax exemptions. While funding and land availability pose challenges, growth potential exists in expanding airports across smaller Indian cities to support projected passenger traffic of 280 million by 2020. Private operators are playing an increasing role in developing and managing airports through public-private partnerships.

have been introduced into the blend in order to increase

the backbone of the Nazla Pottery production, making
larger pieces like “zeer” (or amphora), “boukla” and the

The pieces are made using clay and either ash or straw

patience as the ball of clay has to be manually rolled and
