According to reports, the central government intends to privatise 11 airports. The goal is to use the revenue generated from these larger facilities to support smaller airports, ensuring their long-term viability. The plan involves grouping these airports into five specific bundles: Amritsar and Kangra-Gaggal; Varanasi, Gaya, and Kushinagar; Bhubaneswar and Hubballi; Raipur and Aurangabad; and Tiruchirappalli and Tirupati.
