Airports Privatisation push - THE HINDU×
By amending the AERA Act, the Centre is trying to attract investors to Tier-2, Tier-3 airports
Privatisation has been a part of Modi government’s agenda.
Possibly the financial stress caused by Covid-19 made the government move in this direction. The Finance Minister emphasised during her Budget speech that monetising public infrastructure assets was critical to financing new infrastructure construction.
She did not pronounce a target, but the Prime Minster mentioned a few days later that the plan was to monetise a hundred government owned assets and PSUs to the tune of ₹2.5 lakh crore; reportedly, ₹20,000 crore is to be realised from residual government stake in major airports and monetisation of Tier-2 and Tier-3 airports.

Amid the surge in COVID-19 cases, the government is planning to reduce the maximum passenger capacity for domestic airlines to 60 per cent from 80 per cent currently.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Ministry of Civil Aviation and Airports Authority of India are expected to hold a meeting next week on the issue. We are looking at both the safety angle and the financial fair play angle before making a decision on reducing capacity utilisation in domestic flights, MoneyControl cited a source as saying. Increasing COVID-19 infections, along with regional lockdowns, curfews and other curbs, have already impacted domestic passenger traffic in the last few weeks.
