Adani Airport City Limited (AACL) has unveiled a brand-new programme that aims to develop integrated airport cities across its airport network.
The concept would see the unification of hospitality, retail, entertainment, convention and commercial infrastructure within connected, walkable urban districts.
Representing an investment of over 20,000 crore within its first phase; the project will see the development of 22 million square feet of land across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur and Guwahati.
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, with nearly 70% of the planned investment set to be concentrated in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
All developments have been 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.
Around the world, the most successful airport districts have become centres of commerce, tourism and urban growth. As India’s aviation market expands, airports have an opportunity to create value far beyond aviation.
We are creating a network of integrated urban destinations where airports become catalysts for investment, employment, better passenger experiences and the long-term growth of the cities they serve.
The development is said to have been inspired by airport districts such as Singapore’s Changi, Dubai International, Amsterdam’s Schiphol and Seoul’s Incheon, and aims to bring an airport-led development model to India’s rapidly expanding aviation market.
As part of the initiative, 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 company is also engaging with a number of leading domestic and international partners across hospitality, food and beverage, retail 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), reflecting a focus on resource efficiency, sustainable design, walkability and high-quality public spaces.
