The Indian aviation sector continued to grow stronger in the year 2025, supported by increased capital commitments and large-scale infrastructure development. From IndiGo doubling its Airbus A350 orders to Air India placing additional orders for Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, the sector's growth has been both significant and strategically structured. In parallel, the Government advanced the third phase of airport privatization involving 11 airports, further expanding the footprint of the public private partnership (“PPP”) model in the sector.
