Airports in India: India’s Aviation Market is among the fastest growing in the world. The central government has undertaken multiple initiatives to strengthen the sector, including making airports operational under the Regional Connectivity Scheme: Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (RCS-UDAN).
The airports are being upgraded and modernised time-to-time by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and other airport operators, based on passenger traffic projections, operational requirements and demand from airlines.
“The upgradation and modernization of airports is a continuous process and is undertaken by Airports Authority of India (AAI) and other Airport Operators from time to time, depending on the passenger demand forecast, operational requirements and demand from airlines.
Development works are taken up in a phased manner, subject to the availability of land, financial viability, and operational needs related to intended aircraft operations,” MoS in the Ministry of Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said in Lok Sabha in a written statement on February 12, 2026.
During the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament, Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani sought details from the government on the top ten airports in the country in terms of handling the highest domestic and international passenger traffic over the last three calendar years, with a year-wise and airport-wise break-up.
