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.
