GMR Airports Limited has successfully secured tariff stability for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26, as confirmed by the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA). This decision follows a request from GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) to maintain aeronautical charges—including Landing Charges, Parking Charges, and User Development Fee (UDF)—at the same levels established for the previous quarters. AERA's amendment to its earlier order, issued on October 31, 2025, allows GHIAL to apply these rates from January 1, 2026, through March 31, 2026, effectively ensuring a stable financial environment for the airport during this period.

This tariff stability is significant as it pertains to the third Control Period, which covers fiscal years 2021-22 to 2025-26, under AERA's order number 12/2021-22. The AERA's original order set forth a structured framework for determining the necessary tariffs, aimed at supporting the operational sustainability of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad. By maintaining lower tariff levels for the last quarter compared to earlier periods, GHIAL can enhance its competitive position in the aviation market, thereby benefiting both passengers and airlines alike.

The AERA's decision reflects its commitment to balancing the interests of airport operators and users while promoting growth in the aviation sector. For further details regarding the AERA order and its implications, stakeholders can access the official documents through the AERA website. This strategic move by GMR Airports is expected to foster a positive outlook for the company and its operations in the coming months.
