GHIAL Tariff and Loss Matters​

Regarding GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), the company’s operations are tied up in ongoing litigation with the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) concerning tariff determination for multiple control periods:

• First Control Period (FCP, 2011–2016): TDSAT ruled in favour of GHIAL on several issues, including directing AERA to true up pre-control period losses and treating CGF as non-aeronautical revenue. However, the matter is currently sub judice with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India following an appeal filed by AERA against the TDSAT order.
• Second Control Period (SCP, 2016–2021) and Third Control Period (TCP, 2021–2026): The final order from TDSAT regarding CP2 and CP3 was pronounced on July 21, 2023.
