New Delhi: Legal changes to enable housing development in airport land are in the works, the chairman of India’s state-run airport development authority said. Currently, airport housing in India is permitted only for airport employees.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI), which operates 125 airports, has a land bank of 55,800 acres, which has so far been used only for aviation and passenger-related activities.
That will change soon.
“We want to make it market-driven,” AAI chairman Guruprasad Mohapatra said in an interview.
