‘Adani group to invest Rs 96,000 crore in airports business over 5 years'
AHMEDABAD: Operating seven airports in India, including Mumbai CSMIA with Navi Mumbai set to join the list this Oct, the Adani group will invest close to Rs 1 lakh crore in its airport business over the next five years. This capex will be spread over both infra and real estate development. The conglomerate's airport head Jeet Adani (27), son of patriarch Gautam Adani , says the potential in India is so immense that it has no immediate plans to expand this vertical of business abroad. Excerpts: What are your investment plans for the sector? We do five-year rolling planning. In the next five years, our total investment planned in the airports ecosystem between infrastructure and real estate is almost Rs 95,000-96,000 crore. The biggest chunk of the capex will be at Navi Mumbai Airport, Mumbai Airport and real estate in these two places. The other big projects are to build new terminals at airports in places like Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram in next four years. The recently-built terminal in Lucknow will be expanded. A new terminal at Guwahati is ready and will be commissioned this Oct-Nov. Do you have any plans to build and operate airports abroad too? Not immediately. We see too much opportunity in India and don't want to distract ourselves by going abroad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo We keep getting feelers from abroad. But at the end of the day, it's about our management bandwidth and where do we want to keep our capital. We believe India will see some serious growth in the next 10-15 years. There's so much growth opportunity here with 26 airports already identified for being developed PPP way. Our focus is on going deeper in India and establishing a broader presence here, rather than going abroad. Jeet Adani What is the investment that the upcoming Navi Mumbai will see? We clubbed phase I and II of that airport and will open with an initial capacity of 2 crore passengers annually (CPA) instead of building 1 CPA at a time. This has been built with a capex of Rs 19,000 crore. We have already started work on T2 for Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) which could either be 3-CPA capacity at Rs 30,000 crore or 5-CPA capacity with a capex of Rs 40-45,000 crore. That decision will be taken shortly and T2 construction work will start in 6-12 months. Our overall capex on NMIA that will take it to the ultimate capacity of 9 CPA will be Rs 1 lakh crore. A completely new T1 at Mumbai CSMIA will be built by 2032 at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore. How do you plan to fund this capex? Equity we will put on our own. We have to refinance NMIA. The same lenders have already expressed willingness to participate in the next round. Our philosophy is to pre-invest in infra because we are willing to take a position on the growth of the aviation sector and growth of the economy of the cities we are in. The sector has some real tailwinds. What makes you so bullish on aviation, given the not so happy relation between airlines and airports here in the past? We are not here just as an airport operator but are here to drive the entire ecosystem forward. It is not a fight between airline and airport operators. Collectively, our aviation ecosystem has to get the traffic currently transiting between India and rest of the world through nearby hubs in the Gulf, Southeast Asia and even Europe (for North America market). Those places have a deep integration between airports and airlines, which as of now is not there in India. Fortunately as a group, we have fantastic relationship with IndiGo and the Tatas. We have spoken to both and have asked them to include us into their planning and be a part of our planning. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .

Glass finds at Vadnagar reflect its overseas links
Ahmedabad: Tiny beads, fragments of bangles, or other objects made of glass from Vadnagar in north Gujarat have shed light on the nature of the town's connections with far-flung places, ranging from China on one side to the Mediterranean Sea on the other. A team of researchers from India and the US studied the composition of the glass found from excavations and correlated it with known samples associated with specific regions of the world, placing the ancient town with over 2,000 years of continuous history on the trade map of ancient India. The study, 'Indian Ocean Connections and Regional Trade: An Elemental and Isotopic Study of the Glass of Vadnagar, Gujarat,' by Laure Dussubieux from the Field Museum in Chicago; Alok Kumar Kanungo from IIT Gandhinagar; Yadubir Singh Rawat from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI); and Pankaj Sharma from the Gujarat state directorate of archaeology and museums, was recently published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, an Elsevier publication.

Glass exchanges via the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea were likely bi-directional, with objects travelling east to Gujarat and also travelling west from the state to the Middle East or Egypt, as mentioned in the study. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Start planning your next adventure today Hotel Deals | Search Ads Browse Now Undo The researchers also found a type of glass believed to be produced in Gujarat, possibly for local demand. For the study, the researchers chose 47 representative samples from over 500 artefacts excavated from the site. These ranged from beads, decorative items, bangles, glass shards and tubes among others, indicating a wide range of glass objects. The researchers used modern techniques such as laser ablation and spectrometry to understand the composition of the glass. The glasses were divided into groups such as soda-rich, potash-rich, and contents of alumina and lime, among others. According to the study, the potash glass dates from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, whereas those with mineral soda flux and sand with variable proportions of lime and alumina date to the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD. The later samples with soda plant ash glass date to the 14th-15th centuries AD.

Autorickshaw rush at new Trichy bus terminus leaves drivers waiting for hours
Trichy: The newly commissioned Kalaignar Karunanidhi Bus Terminus (KKBT) in Panjapur is facing an unexpected problem — overcrowding by autorickshaws. Around 550 three-wheelers have flooded the premises, far exceeding demand and forcing many drivers to wait 5-6 hours for their first ride of the day. Instead of streamlining fares, the glut of autos and poor passenger demand have led to overcharging in some cases. While 250 autorickshaws from the Central Bus Terminus were allocated space at KKBT's front entrance, another 300 from nearby areas like E Pudur and Crawford were directed to the rear entrance. "Autorickshaw unions from across the city approach us daily for space at KKBT. Though we cannot deny them outright, the overcrowding is making business unsustainable," a senior corporation official said. Authorities have clarified that no auto stands will be permitted within the terminus itself. For now, drivers park in long queues outside both entrances. However, with the terminus well-connected by city buses to Central and Chathiram bus stands, many solo travellers and low-income passengers prefer public transport. Families often disembark at stops like Mannarpuram or TVS Tollgate to reach the city core, further reducing demand for autos at Panjapur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo "I waited six hours for my first ride today. Many inexperienced drivers have also taken slots here and are overcharging passengers," said R Murugesan, an AITUC-backed auto driver. The queue system further delays subsequent rides, prompting some drivers to overcharge by ₹100-₹150 just to make ends meet. Fares to places like the airport or Srirangam can touch ₹600-₹700, depending on passenger urgency. "The district administration should introduce pre-booked auto services through apps or counters to regulate fares. Unscrupulous drivers could tarnish the reputation of the new terminus," warned consumer rights activist H Ghouse Baig. Authorities expect that some autos may leave the terminus voluntarily as poor demand persists. Meanwhile, RTO officials said no formal complaints about fare fleecing have been received so far.
