Abolition of ADF to leave a funding gap on GVK Power, GMR Infrastructure: Report

17 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Abolition of airport development fee (ADF) at Mumbai and Delhi airports will leave a funding gap of around Rs 4,200 crore and Rs 1175 crore on GVK Power & Infrastructure and GMR Infrastructure - operators of Mumbai and Delhi airports, as mentioned in some media report.

Presently Rs 200 per domestic passenger and Rs 1300 per international passenger are being charged as ADF at Delhi Airport, while Rs 100 per domestic passenger and Rs 600 per international passenger are being charged as ADF at Mumbai Airport.

The civil aviation ministry has directed to scrap ADF from January 1,2013 to the Airports Authority of India (AAI), which also has a 26% stake in each of these airports, it has also ordered to infuse addition equity into the two joint ventures - DIAL and MIAL-- managed by the GMR Group and the GVK group.

Although the additional equity would earn a regulated return for the operators, the immediate infusion of cash would be a real concern which could also result in further increase in leverage for both companies -- GMR Infrastructure and GVK Power. Currently, GMR has a debt of around Rs 9,000 crore for its airport division, while GVK’s debt aggregates to around Rs 2000 crore.
