Adani Airport City Limited Unveils ₹20,000 Crore Integrated Airport City Programme
On 25 June 2026, Adani Airport City Limited (AACL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), unveiled an ambitious programme to develop integrated airport cities across its airport network. The development encompasses a land bank of over 655 acres across six airports in five states, including nearly 440 acres in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai alone.
Scope and Investment
Adani Airports will invest over ₹20,000 crore in the first phase to create integrated airport cities featuring hospitality, retail, business, entertainment and convention infrastructure. Approximately 22 million square feet will be developed across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur and Guwahati.
Nearly 70 per cent of the planned investment will be concentrated in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, reflecting the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's (MMR) position as India's leading commercial, financial and aviation gateway.
Design and Connectivity Model
The developments are designed as integrated, walkable urban districts where travellers, businesses and local communities can access hotels, offices, retail, dining, entertainment and convention facilities within environments seamlessly integrated with airport, Metro and city transport infrastructure.
Inspired by airport districts in Singapore, Dubai, Amsterdam and Seoul, the initiative aims to transform airports into economic ecosystems that drive tourism, investment, employment and urban growth.
Global Design Partners and Sustainability
The developments are being designed with leading global design and engineering partners and informed by emerging trends in hospitality, retail, workplaces and entertainment. All Airport City projects have received 'Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design' (LEED) Gold pre-certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which highlights the group's focus on resource efficiency, sustainable design, walkability and high-quality public spaces.
Hospitality Partnerships with IHG Hotels & Resorts
AAHL has signed hotel management agreements with IHG Hotels & Resorts for five luxury and premium hotels, including the debut of the Kimpton brand in India. The portfolio includes a Kimpton hotel in Jaipur, along with Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express properties planned across Navi Mumbai, Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram as part of Adani Airport city developments.
The partnership will add nearly 1,500 hotel keys across multiple brands and locations as India's aviation and tourism sectors continue to expand rapidly.
