Further two assets are under construction viz., Bhogapuram International Airport (new Visakhapatnam Airport) in Andhra Pradesh, India and Crete International Airport in Greece.

GMR Group is actively pursuing opportunities for new airports as and when they arise. We are actively tracking the next round of regional airports being privatized by the Government of India. On the international front, in the near future, the Group is strategically focusing on opportunities in South and Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

We also continue to explore opportunities in Africa and Central & Eastern Europe. GMR Airports is looking to drive growth not only through Airport Concessions, but also through expansion in the field of airport related services including EPC, Project Management, Engineering & Maintenance, Duty Free, Cargo, other non-aero concessions etc.

FY 2023-24, second year post pandemic was marked by impressive traffic growth. In absence of any travel restrictions, economies recovering post pandemic and an existent pent-up demand for travel, air traffic boomed across the world, in some economies including India to an extent so as to cross the pre- pandemic levels.

In FY 2024, the Indian aviation industry saw significant growth in passenger traffic, with domestic air passenger numbers increasing by approximately 13% year-over-year to reach around 307 million (counting both arrival and departure), surpassing the pre-Covid levels of 275 million in FY 2020. In March 2024 alone, which was the highest monthly traffic in India, domestic passenger traffic was approximately 26.9 million, showing a 4.9% year-over-year increase and a 6.9% sequential growth from February 2024. International passenger traffic saw a growth in FY 2024, where traffic reached approximately 70 million, surpassing the pre-COVID levels.

The financial performance of airlines improved significantly, driven by better pricing power and higher yields, leading to better revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK-CASK) spreads. However, the cost environment remained challenging, with Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices still elevated. Although these price levels are 14% lower than in FY 2023, but still approximately 58% higher than pre-Covid levels, impacting the cost structure of airlines.

Operationally, the industry faced significant challenges, particularly with supply chain issues and engine failures, especially with Pratt & Whitney engines. These problems led to the grounding of substantial portions of some airlines' fleets, with around 24-26% of the total fleet grounded by the end of March 2024, increasing operational costs and affecting capacity. Financial distress was notable among certain airlines, such as Go Airlines (India) Limited, which faced payment defaults and eventual insolvency proceedings due to grounded fleets. Further, SpiceJet too has been grappling with several challenges in terms of financial instability and legal battles. Meanwhile, other major airlines maintained better liquidity, supported by strong financial backing from parent companies or adequate internal funds.

Overall, FY 2024 was a year of significant recovery and growth for the Indian aviation industry, despite the operational challenges that have persisted.

Given this robust recovery, the sector has seen renewed investments to cope with rising demand. Airlines across the world have placed new orders to ramp up capacity. Airlines in India including Indigo and Air India have also placed huge orders this year for both narrow body and wide body aircrafts from both Airbus and Boeing.

However, the demand recovery has been so tremendous that it has given rise to a supply demand imbalance with demand far out stripping the supply due to operational issues mentioned above. Thus, future traffic growth would depend among other factors on aircraft manufacturer's ability to fulfil orders in a timely manner.

An overview of the operations at our assets during the year is briefly given below:

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL)

DIAL is a subsidiary of the Company, and its shareholding comprises GMR Airports Infrastructure Limited ("GIL") (64%), Airports Authority of India (AAI) (26%) and Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Fraport) (10%).

GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited (GVIAL)

GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, is developing the Bhogapuram International Airport. This is a greenfield airport being built at Bhogapuram, which is located about 45 kilometers northeast of Visakhapatnam.

Initially, the airport is designed to handle 6 million passengers annually. The capacity will be expanded based on future growth in traffic. This Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project is being developed under a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) model.

During the year, various advancements took place in the project. The foundation stone for the project was laid by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in May 2023. Financial closure of the project was achieved in December 2023. Subsequently, EPC works have been taken up by the selected bidder.

Highlights of CY2023:

• Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) demonstrated a strong recovery in CY 2023, with a total passenger traffic of 10 Mn, comprising 7.5 Mn domestic passengers and 2.5 Mn international passengers, representing a ~80% increase in traffic compared to CY 2022. In contrast to the pre-pandemic level, traffic in CY 2023 was ~80% of that in CY 2019.

• Such traffic growth was supported by relaxations in travel restrictions and a strong economic recovery. Philippines witnessed brisk economic recovery, clocking 5.6% GDP growth in CY 2023. Re-instatement of routes and ramping- up of seat capacities by domestic airlines also contributed to traffic recovery. The recovery has continued in CY 2024 with domestic traffic recovery at 93% of pre-pandemic levels as of YTD May 2024.

• On international front, strong recovery of international traffic from its key source markets of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, coupled with addition of international routes by domestic carriers and route re-instatement by international carriers helped MCIA achieve a YoY growth of 267% in international traffic (2.5 Mn in CY23 vs 0.68 Mn in CY22). Though recovery from other key markets such as China and Japan have been slower than expectation, launch of government driven initiatives such as e-Visa are expected to fast-track international traffic growth in the coming months. The traffic recovery has continued in CY 2024 with international traffic recovering to over 70% of pre- pandemic levels as of YTD May 2024.

• On the back of strong domestic demand, recovering international traffic and addition of new aircraft by domestic carriers, MCIA is projected to recover traffic to ~100% of pre-pandemic levels in CY 2024.

Medan Airport

The Company and its subsidiaries participated in a bid for managing, developing and improving the performance of Kualanamu International Airport which was held by Angkasa Pura II (AP II). GMR was awarded the contract in November 2021, and it entered into a strategic partnership with AP II. The Indonesian government has since in December 2023 merged the two state- run airport operators Angkasa Pura I (AP I) and Angkasa Pura II (AP II) into a new sub-holding company, PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia. GMR now holds 49% stake in the project SPV. With the award of this contract, GMR became the first Indian airport operator to win a bid to develop and operate an Indonesian Airport. The SPV took charge of commercial operations on July 7, 2022.

Highlights of CY 2023:

In contrast to India, the Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, have not completely recovered to pre-covid levels as Chinese International traffic continues to underperform. In addition, supply side issues on aircraft are also impacting available aviation capacity in the region. Despite these challenges, Medan Airport was able to achieve several notable achievements as well as service improvements. In 2023, more than 75% of the routes that were operational pre-pandemic were restored, showcasing a successful recovery.

In addition, the airport has been able to attract new routes. Qatar Airways has announced a flight between Qatar and Medan effective January 2024 and Batik Air has launched direct flight to Chennai in August 2023, however temporarily rerouted via Kuala Lumpur, along with few domestic routes, Palembang in July 2023 and Denpasar in August 2023. Airlines have increased frequencies on the existing routes and new airlines have also started operating on existing routes. Given these developments, the Kualanamu Airport, Medan was shortlisted for the Routes Asia award.

CY 2023 traffic reached 7.4 Mn, which is approximately 92% of the 2019 pre-pandemic traffic.

On the non-aeronautical side, the company successfully on- boarded best in class global partners through a competitive selection process, resulting in enhanced commercial agreements and improved services in vehicle parking, hotels, lounges, and duty-free etc. Additionally, the company renegotiated with various existing partners to secure better commercial terms and strengthened governance in key areas such as cargo, fuel, and in- building solutions. These strategic initiatives have significantly increased revenue from these businesses as well as ensuring higher user satisfaction.

Operational improvements:

The initiatives implemented to enhance the airport passenger experience represent a comprehensive approach to improving both operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction.

From the start of the year, the Information desks underwent refurbishment which concluded with the reinstatement of Customer Service staff on the desks to support passenger queries. Aesthetic installations, the introduction of decorative orchids at key customer touch points, creating ambience and 'selfie' locations, improvements made to FIDS (flight information display system) screens and many such measures have contributed to a more welcoming ambience and improved passenger convenience. Additionally, we developed ramp access to cater to the needs of passengers with trolleys, wheelchairs, and prams, ensuring smooth navigation throughout the airport premises and into car parks. Airside bus drop off points were refurbished which also included the refreshing of the main service road used by both passenger buses and operational vehicles.

The Main Entrance screening was removed to optimize passenger flow, effectively eliminating queues at the entrances and increasing passenger dwell time. In conjunction with this, the hold baggage screening system was fully implemented. Following this change in process established for Kualanamu Airport, the solution was also adopted by Jakarta Airport. The expansion of SCP2, the main passenger screening point, added document check desks and improved queue management have streamlined the inspection process, reducing wait times. With respect to security, several initiatives were delivered to meet regulatory compliance. This included the addition of vehicle deterrents at the main entrance and the expansion of the operational vehicle airside access security check point. In keeping with compliance requirements, we have refurbished bird-scaring equipment, as well as the airfield, taxiway, and stand markings.

Strategic initiatives towards hub development at Medan have also been undertaken. To promote a Umrah hub, we added seating capacity in the waiting area before security check-in to further support the dedicated check-in area and security lanes established in 2022. Further seating was added at Arrivals landside to facilitate families and meeting arriving passengers, which together with the addition of barriers to segregate the arriving passengers from 'meeters & greeters', improved the passenger flow and aided in security access control on arrival exits.

The transfer facilities being the first such facilities in Indonesia, operations at the Kualanamu Airport have continued to demonstrate a customer-centric approach to service delivery.

Given the slower recovery of traffic post covid, and the steps taken as mentioned above, we have been able to defer the planned ICA (Immediate capacity augmentation) which will expand the terminal capacity to 15 MPPA.

Crete International Airport

GMR Airports and its Greek partner, TERNA, signed a concession agreement with the Greek State for design, construction, financing, operation, maintenance of the new international airport of Heraklion at Crete in Greece.

Highlights of CY 2023:

The overall construction progress of the airport as of March 2024 stands at approximately 33%. Significant advancements have been made across various sections of the project.

Accordingly, the state has approved the extension of COD to February 06, 2027, and has also agreed to fund an additional EPC claim of Euro 104.9 MN.

Airport Adjacencies

Given our experience of more than one and half decade in the Airports services value chain, GMR Airports has over the past few years, been working to build a strong asset light portfolio of airport adjacency businesses in both domestic and international markets. This is an important part of our strategy to leverage our know-how built over years of airport operation, to capture a greater share of the value being generated at our airports as well as to build operating cash flows for the Company. The portfolio of services being targeted includes B2C businesses including Retail (including Duty Free and Food & Beverages), Car Park, etc. and B2B businesses such as Cargo. In addition, we are also providing various asset light services including Operations and Management Services and Project Management Consultancy Services.

As a significant development, the Company operationalized various non-aeronautical services at Hyderabad International Airport, under a Non-Aero Master Concession, which encompasses Retail, Duty Free and Retail related services. Under this concession, around 168 outlets of Retail & Services and Duty- Free stores shall come under purview of the Company. In addition, the Company has also been awarded the concession to develop and operate the Car Park at Hyderabad International Airport.

At Goa Airport at MOPA, the authority initiated the re-concession process of non-aero services. The Company participated and was awarded the concession for Duty Free and Car Park businesses. The Company has already operationalized the Car Park with a total operational area of around 48,000 sqm. Earlier, the Company also acquired the license to develop and operate the cargo terminal services at Goa Airport at MOPA. The state-of- the-art cargo facility having a capacity of 30,000 MT was made ready & operationalized with the beginning of the international operations in July 2023.

At new Bhogapuram Airport (GVIAL), the Company has been awarded the concession to design & operate the cargo terminal services.

In another major development, to strengthen its focus on hospitality, the Company formalized an F&B Joint Venture business with India's leading F&B operator. The F&B Joint Venture Company 'GMR Hospitality Limited' ('GHL') started the F&B operations at Goa Airport at MOPA after being awarded the F&B Concession post the bidding process. The Company also participated in the bid for F&B concession at Hyderabad International Airport, and was successfully awarded the contract. The Company's focus is to now operationalize the F&B stores at Hyderabad International Airport.

In addition to the above, we are currently evaluating multiple opportunities in the cargo, duty free and services business across our focus geographies and believe that in the short to medium term, we will have more adjacency businesses to add to the overall portfolio.
