India’s $12B Investment Revolutionizing Air Travel

India’s Aviation Sector Soars as Government Invests $12 Billion in Infrastructure and Technology

India is making significant investments in its aviation industry, with plans to spend $12 billion by 2025 on airports and aircraft. The expansion aims to meet the increasing demand for air travel in the country, driven by exponential growth in air cargo and a surge in passengers at popular airports such as Indira Gandhi International, Mumbai International, and Bangalore International. In fact, India’s middle class and global economic prominence are projected to make it the world’s third-largest air passenger market in the next decade, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). However, these positive trends also bring new challenges in the areas of infrastructure, sustainability, and technology.
