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.
Taken together, these developments reflect a continued momentum
across airlines, financing and infrastructure. Below is a quick
overview of some of the key regulatory and commercial developments
and what they could mean for airlines, lessors, financiers, airport
operators and emerging aviation stakeholders.
