India has emerged as the world's third-largest
domestic aviation market, driven by rapid growth in passenger
numbers and transformational policy interventions like
the regional connectivity scheme. India's
domestic traffic has surged 30%, international traffic has risen
from 55 million to 72 million, and in April 2025, domestic air
traffic registered an annual growth of ~ 10%, outpacing the
global growth rate of 8%.
Indian carriers have placed orders for over 2,000
aircraft and India is investing heavily in airport
infrastructure to meet the growing demand for air travel. New
airports to serve Delhi NCR and Mumbai, India's two largest
cities, are likely to start operations this year.
