GMR Airports Expected to Triple EBITDA in Five Years
Real Estate:GMR Airports Ltd., the largest private airport operator in India, is expected to triple its EBITDA in five years, according to a report by brokerage firm Jefferies. The company operates two of the busiest airports in the country, Delhi and Hyderabad, and has a cumulative share of 278% in India's passenger traffic.

Jefferies has initiated coverage on GMR Airports Ltd. with a 'buy' recommendation and a price target of ₹100, implying a potential upside of 15% from current levels. The brokerage firm believes that GMR Airports is evolving from a utility to a retail consumption play and will benefit from the strong growth outlook in air traffic, travel retail opportunity, a hike in aero tariffs, and unlocking the real estate opportunity.

A further re-rating, according to Jefferies, will be supported by more simplification of the group's corporate structure, better leverage ratios, and Groupe ADP's backing. The presence of ADP, both at the strategic and the board level, will help GMR's fund-raising capabilities, project execution, and bidding capabilities.

Jefferies expects passenger cap at the Hyderabad airport to increase from 12 million to 34 million, while GMR's Goa Airport is also in the middle of a ramp-up. The brokerage expects passenger traffic to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11% over financial year 2024 - 2027.

Near tripling of the aero traffic at the Delhi airport between financial year 2025 - 2029, higher tariffs at the Hyderabad airport, and new tariffs taking effect at the Goa airport will all contribute to the topline and the company's EBITDA growth over financial year 2024 - 2027.

GMR Airports Ltd. is a subsidiary of GMR Infra Ltd., a leading infrastructure company in India. Groupe ADP, a global airport major, has a strategic partnership with GMR Airports Ltd.

GMR Infra Ltd. is a leading infrastructure company in India, with a presence in airports, energy, transportation, and urban infrastructure. The company has a strong track record of project execution and has developed several iconic infrastructure projects in India.
