About

Jeet Adani, the younger son of Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, has a big responsibility ahead as the director of Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL). In a couple of months, AAHL is set to begin the first phase of commercial operations at the Navi Mumbai International Airport, one of the largest greenfield world-class airports in the making. It will have an initial capacity to handle 20 million passengers in the first phase, which will expand up to 90 million annually in a phased manner. “Delivering this airport has been a monumental task. Our team and stakeholders have truly moved mountains—both literally and figuratively. The project involved complex challenges, including rerouting an entire river system around the site,” says Jeet. AAHL operates seven major airports across India — Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram, and Mumbai. The company also holds a 73% stake in Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which oversees the Navi Mumbai International Airport project. It saw revenues rise 27% YoY to ₹10,224 crore in FY25. EBITDA grew 43% to ₹3,480 crore, as passenger movement increased 7% to 94.4 million. Its airports handled 10.9 million tonnes of cargo during the year, 8% more than FY24. AAHL has an overall capacity of 110 million passengers per annum and wants to triple it to 300 million by 2040 through phased developments. “Over the next five to seven years, we’ll build new terminals in Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Trivandrum, and Jaipur, while expanding Mumbai T1 and Lucknow T3. Our goal is to double our current capacity,” says Jeet. Another area of Jeet’s focus is data centres, an incubated business of the group. “We are investing in high-capacity, energy-efficient facilities across major metros, with a strong focus on renewable energy integration,” says Jeet, who also leads Adani Digital Labs, which is currently developing a super app for the Adani Group.
