According to the Civil aviation minister, AAI will be accorded as the most profitable infrastructure unit while surpassing all PSUs in terms of dividend profit earnings. The unit has embarked on spending a capital expenditure of Rs 30,000 crore for the next five years, exceeding the threshold of Rs 25,000 crore allocation in FY20-25.

The estimated ratio is expected to surpass the ambitious initiative of National Infrastructure Pipeline allocation, touted at Rs 91,000 crore for airport development using PPP modules.
