India’s Aviation Minister, Ram Mohan Naidu, announced plans to build 50 new airports over the next five years, aiming to position Delhi as a major international aviation hub. This initiative seeks to enhance the country’s aviation infrastructure, which has seen over 10% annual growth, with nearly 140 airports currently operating. Naidu’s strategy includes collaborating with airlines for extensive transit networks, expanding airport facilities, and increasing passenger fleet capabilities. Additionally, the government aims for 1% sustainable aviation fuel blending in international flights by 2027, rising to 5% by 2030. Naidu also plans to increase market competition by reducing entry barriers for new airlines.
