India’s aviation business has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, with startup airlines and new routes on the way. The government has an ambitious goal of developing 220 new airports by 2025.

India will have some 1,200 aircraft and 400 million passengers by 2027, according to Jyotiraditya Scindia, minister for civil aviation. In a market set for rapid expansion, the country is using government funds and public-private partnerships for large greenfield airports. Eight of 21 greenfield airports are already operating.

民航初级部长V. K. Singh表示，印度机场管理局和私人机场运营商将在2025年投资110亿美元。随着补贴的区域连接计划的扩展，小型，服务不足和偏远机场的开发计划也正在进行中。有400条区域路线，计划另外600条连接到156个机场。

距德里国际机场75公里的诺伊达国际机场计划是印度最大的格林菲尔德机场。该机场具有体积的模块化设计，正处于1,334公顷的建筑中7.16亿美元的建设中。

预计将在2025年初委托的第一阶段，每年将拥有1200万乘客，并带有一条跑道。总体规划要求每年有两条跑道和7,000万乘客。

“Once we reach 80% of capacity, our past experience with Bangalore airport has taught us to start viewing expansion,” says Christoph Schnellmann, CEO of Yamuna International Airport Pvt Ltd., a subsidiary of Swiss developer Zurich Airport International that is developing the airport.

塔塔项目于18luck官网6月被任命为诺伊达国际机场的工程，采购和建设。Bechtel将支持建设。跑道建设正在进行中。

格林菲尔德机场在果阿有望开放by the end of the year, and a site has been selected for a second airport at Chennai. Navi Mumbai International Airport, delayed for decades, is also moving forward. City and Industrial Development Corp. has reportedly acquired the 1,160-hectare site. Adani Enterprises is the concessionaire.

Airport experts are confident in India aviation’s rebound. “We saw many greenfield airports like NIA and Navi Mumbai get distracted and [they are] now making headway,” says Said Mneimne, senior vice president of Hill International. He adds that the government’s agenda for airports is “aggressive."

至于希尔进入印度机场市场的机会，“我们将谨慎地了解PPP投资的发展方式。“我们正在确定强大的当地顾问，这些顾问对建筑管理有洞察力。”

Building so many airports in a developing country comes with challenges. The average number of EPC contractors that can take on major projects remains low, notesmneimne。他说，尽管材料和建筑设备可用，但劳动力需要培训。

降低碳排放

印度的机场正在快速听取国际机场委员会到2050年净零碳排放的电话。正在采用机场碳认证。

Implementation of clean practices throughout the project cycle during preconstruction, construction and operational stages is planned. At Noida, a sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 12 million liters per day will treat wastewater that will be used for landscaping and flushing toilets.

施内尔曼说：“目前，航空公司不存在零排放。”“我们有一个可容纳可持续航空燃料的燃料农场，将通过数字指挥和控制中心管理移动。”

全球的technology firm ICAD Holdings has been chosen as the master systems integrator to develop software layers responsible for integration, aggregation and communication of the building systems and to “ensure all systems communicate properly,” he says.

Noida is the 45th airport project ICAD has undertaken, “opening our window of opportunity to offer our expertise and services to the East,'' says Ghassan Sayegh, its CEO.
