随着空中交通的增加，机场基础设施和容量限制已成为印度政府的首要任务。国际航空运输协会首席执行官兼总干事亚历山德·德·朱尼亚克（Alexandre de Juniac）表示，该国将在接下来的二十年中成为接下来的二十年中的第三大航空市场。总部位于悉尼航空的顾问中心估计，印度需要300亿至400亿美元的资本才能在未来10至15年内现代化机场基础设施。

Annual domestic passengers, now at 70 million, are expected to increase to 300 million by 2022. The Indian government has provided, until March 2017, $1.16 billion for the development of airports in smaller cities through public-private partnerships (P3s). India permits foreign direct investment of 100% for greenfield projects and 74% for existing projects. Private-sector design and project management consultants have responded to a request for proposals (RFPs) from the cash-constrained, government-owned Airports Authority of India, which owns 125 airports. The contracts will last 30 to 48 months. Operations and management are not included in the RFP.

“It will need the best international firms to match this program," says Nicholas Jachiet, chairman and CEO of France-based Egis Group. The concern for AAI would be to ensure the upgraded projects were not delayed, he added.

为了解决位于印度商业首都的孟买国际机场的拥堵，该城市和工业发展公司（CIDCO）正在以2.49亿美元，1,160公顷的开发发展，在新孟买第二个机场。CIDCO副董事长兼董事总经理Bhushan Ashok Gagrani说：“所有重大批准都已到位。”前开发工作涉及通过90度转弯换入河流的路线，持续3.2公里。在核心区域的平整土地上的工作最终开始了。工作将包括开挖92米的山丘，以延伸到海上的跑道。

Once the site is ready, it will be handed to a P3 concessionaire. RFP respondents include GMR Group; GVK-led Mumbai International Airport Ltd.; Volputas Developers (Hiranandani Group) with Zurich Airport; and MIA Infrastructure, a consortium of Tata Realty and Vinci Airports International. Gagrani says the first phase is slated for competion in December 2019 and will accommodate a million annual passengers. By 2030, the capacity would reach 60 million. The prime consultant, a consortium led by Louis Berger Group and INECO-RITES, has prepared the airport's master plan.

Meanwhile, GMR Airports, a subsidiary of GMR Infrastructure Ltd. and operator of Delhi International Airport, recently won a competitive bid for development and operation of a greenfield airport at Goa. The 40-year concession includes an expected 20-year extension through a bidding process. GMR Group currently is conducting a financial review of four bids for Phase 3A (2016-20) development at the Indian hub to increase its domestic terminal size to 133,000 sq m from 53,000 sq m. The two top bidders soon will be identified for price negotiations. Designed by AECOM, the plan includes a fourth runway, an elevated taxiway and additional parking for 80 aircraft. It will be operational by late 2018.

最近，印度南部的安得拉邦政府与美国联邦航空管理局，美国贸易和发展局以及其他美国政府机构和公司之间的P3签署了一份谅解备忘录。该州注视着四个格林菲尔德机场，确定了ACP成员的竞标过程中潜在合作的领域，包括主计划和设计，建筑和融资，安全和保障以及培训和技能开发。
