GMR Airports shares rise after TDSAT quashes AERA's HRAB calculation; Jefferies sees upside with Rs 100 target price
Shares of GMR Airports rose over 1% to ₹89.32 on Wednesday, July 3, after a favorable order by the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) directed the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) to recompute the Hypothetical Regulated Asset Base (HRAB) for Delhi International Airport (DIAL), a GMR subsidiary.
In its judgment dated July 1, 2025, TDSAT set aside AERA's earlier HRAB calculation, citing errors, and instructed it to recalculate the HRAB afresh from April 1, 2009, based on the tariff components agreed in the State Support Agreement between the Government of India and DIAL. This came after DIAL had filed a review petition following the Supreme Court's 2023 direction to TDSAT to re-examine the matter. GMR informed exchanges that the positive impact of the revised HRAB would reflect during the next tariff determination exercise.
Jefferies reiterated its 'Buy' rating on the stock with a target price of ₹100, stating that a higher HRAB could significantly enhance allowable tariff recovery and profitability for DIAL, addressing past under-recoveries. The brokerage also highlighted potential upside from other under-recovery debates.
Meanwhile, GMR Airports shares were trading at ₹89.32, up 1.04%, compared to the previous close of ₹88.40. The stock has touched a day's high of ₹90.28 and a low of ₹89.40 so far, with a market cap of ₹947.87 billion and an average volume of 12.64 million shares.

The average Day-Ahead Market (DAM) price dropped 16% YoY to Rs 4.41/unit, while the Real-Time Market (RTM) price declined 20% YoY to Rs 3.91/unit due to improved liquidity and higher renewable supply.
