Adani Group Exploring Plans to Launch Airline, Eyeing Expansion in India's Aviation Sector

Gautam Adani’s group is considering launching its own airline, potentially challenging the dominance of IndiGo and Air India in India’s fast-growing aviation sector, according to sources. The move would mark a strategic shift for the conglomerate, which already operates eight airports in India and has major expansion plans. However, no final decision has been made as the group evaluates the risks of entering an industry known for high costs and low margins. The possibility of an Adani airline comes amid government efforts to encourage more competition in aviation following operational challenges at IndiGo and safety concerns surrounding Air India. The group is also exploring the option of acquiring a stake in an existing airline, while continuing to expand its airport infrastructure business.
