The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has undertaken various initiatives to move towards carbon neutrality and achieve net-zero carbon emissions at airports nationwide. This involves standardizing the carbon accounting and reporting framework for Indian airports. Airport operators with scheduled operations are advised to assess carbon emissions at their respective airports and work towards carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions progressively. The MoCA has also encouraged upcoming Greenfield Airports and state governments to prioritize carbon neutrality and net zero, emphasizing the use of green energy.

Minister  highlighted that presently, 14 airports in the country operate under Public Private Partnership (PPP). These airports, leased by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), aim to enhance airport infrastructure and facilities through private sector efficiency and investment. The revenue generated from leased airports is reinvested by AAI to develop airport infrastructure nationwide.

As part of the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP), 25 AAI airports, including Bhubaneshwar, Varanasi, Amritsar, and others, are slated for leasing between 2022 and 2025.

Currently, 517 Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) routes are operational, connecting 76 airports, including 9 heliports and 2 water aerodromes.
