FY2022 means April 2021–March 2022. The four requested years FY2022–FY2025 are shown alongside full FY2026 and separately matched FY2027 year-to-date figures from calendar 2026. Historic bundles are sums of their airport members, not historic concession-company accounts.
Year-on-year changes compare like periods. Recovery CAGR from FY2022 includes the pandemic base and does not determine long-term growth. No YTD figure is multiplied to invent a full year.
FY2022–FY2023 show reported profit/loss from an official parliamentary reply; revenue and expenditure are not supplied there. FY2024–FY2025 use AAI airport-wise profitability tables. Airport-level FY2026 financial outturn has not been verified. N/A is not zero. These are accounting results under AAI, not EBITDA or future concession cash flow.
Passenger movements per aircraft movement is a throughput ratio, not airline seat load factor. Freight tonnes do not establish cargo revenue or parcel development value. Traffic tables do not establish EBITDA, capex outturn, delays, queues or service quality. The separate financial tables retain their reported accounting labels and source scope; obtain cash-flow and operating-log bridges before underwriting.
Approximate geospatial assemblies support option appraisal. Published runway snapshots, community-mapped footprints and schematic system banks have different evidence quality. This is an incomplete public-source inventory, not a surveyed as-built, current operational certificate or concession asset schedule.
FY2027 uses actual April–September 2026 plus an explicitly assumed change in the remaining six months. ICRA’s August 2026 industry outlook supplies wider context. Long-term Airbus and IATA outlooks use different traffic metrics and geographies; they are context, not local airport growth guarantees. The scenarios have no assigned probability. Historic movements are arrivals plus departures, not unique flyers.
Community footprints describe mapped objects, not ownership, condition or present use. Quantities with conflicting records are retained separately. Unplaced equipment is recorded without an invented installation location.
Orange twin geometry is a generic space reservation. Costs are broad analyst allowances. No project is adopted by default. Adding a candidate below creates additional equity-funded spend above the inherited lifecycle budget; reconcile overlap before treating it as a procurement plan. Only a capacity option releases an entered annual capacity after commissioning. Service upgrades receive no automatic traffic, yield or capacity credit.
These are dated official planning records. BE/RE amounts are annual allocations, not full project costs, commissioned capacity or proven private concession obligations. Opening dates and cost allocation require confirmation.
Use this layer for conditional price decisions. The later financial workbench is an unphased benchmark. Final RFP economics, transferred CWIP, mandatory works, tariffs and land rights remain unverified. A model ceiling is not permission to submit a bid.
Financial inputs come from the committed workbench assumptions, including the 15% equity hurdle by default. The overlay replaces its upfront and CWIP fields with one total allowance, phases terminal capacity and retains cash for future works. Initial capex remains included in lifecycle capex.
All fees are first-operating-FY ₹ per domestic-equivalent billable passenger, using the assumed international multiplier and escalation in the workbench. Policy: opening 75%, target 90%, hard stop 100% of the lower of base and downside ceilings, rounded down to ₹5. Percentages are editable negotiation rules, not estimates of competitors’ bids. “Hold” means no protected positive bid is supported; even a zero fee may fail. Base-only bands require an explicit decision to accept or mitigate the downside.
The book reference or total consideration override follows the selected settlement schedule: annual instalments or a lump sum at handover. It is not a confirmed payable amount. The model does not add a generic CWIP allowance or treat book value as new construction. Confirm settlement and tax basis in the RFP.
Seed 20261101. The same macro paths are used for all five groups. Independent triangular draws: traffic level 0.75/1.00/1.15; growth delta −1.5/0/+1 percentage points each growth phase; aero yield 0.85/1/1.05; non-aero 0.70/1/1.15; operating cost 0.95/1/1.15; capex 0.95/1/1.25; interest delta −0.5/0/+2.5 percentage points. Low/mode/high shown. Capacity delay 0/1/2 years has assumed weights 60/30/10%. Other inputs remain fixed. Initial debt scales with capex; consideration is fixed. Fee limits are solved for every draw using equity NPV, DSCR, repayment and any equity budget constraint.
These distributions are subjective stress coverage, not calibrated event probabilities, correlated risk forecasts or win odds. Pass percentages describe this sample only. Infeasible-at-zero paths have a null fee limit; for unconditional percentiles they enter as zero, with their count separately disclosed. No negative fee or subsidy is silently treated as a zero-fee success. P90 equity is a nominal sum of gross calls over the concession, not a present-day equity cheque. Retained cash earns zero interest. Full distribution/correlation and refinancing risk remain outside the model.
The initial base-price capex is split equally at t0 and operating years 1–2, with in-operation tranches delayed by the delay setting. Debt funds the selected share of initial works only. The default demand case uses airport-specific evidence profiles displayed in Assets / LOD 200 / projects. The registered-project capacity mode holds the existing envelope at the greater of the dated annual reference and FY2026 observed throughput. Varanasi's approved 9.9 MPPA airport target is assumed available in FY2031 plus delay; the date is unverified. Other capacity increases require an explicitly adopted project. Lifecycle maintenance tranches alone release no capacity. Adopted projects add equity-funded spend in their entered year, nominally escalated; their capacity starts in their entered opening year plus delay. The alternative legacy benchmark mode retains the former assumed phase 1 and quarter-ultimate-capacity releases. No independent runway/peak-hour capacity model is implied.
Interest uses opening debt plus half-year draws; equal principal begins at phase 1 commissioning. Terminal debt must be zero. Straight-line depreciation, positive-profit cash tax with no loss carry-forward, working capital and nominal escalation follow the workbench. No salvage value, tariff pooling, refinancing or land-sale proceeds. Unknown upfront consideration is not depreciated. Ground capex is additional and all equity funded. Fee is paid on both arrival and departure throughput using the hypothetical billable share; actual tender definitions may change the value materially.
The cash waterfall first funds the annual operating/capex gap and a reserve equal to the selected months of current-year debt service, then retains up to the next selected years’ unfunded capex before distributing excess cash. Future works are not fully prefunded if cash is insufficient; subsequent equity calls are shown explicitly. Sponsor NPV discounts distributions less injections, including reserve funding. The reserve proxy is not a lender-approved forward DSRA covenant. Gross concession-life equity calls are used as the optional budget test. Zero equity budget means no budget constraint, not zero funding required.
Downside: traffic −15%, growth −1 percentage point, non-aero yield −15%, opex +10%, all works +20%, interest +1.5 percentage points, capacity/works delay +2 years. No probability is assigned.
Twenty-two city links cover every airport. They are an investable pilot plan, not a surveyed origin–destination matrix or a list of confirmed services. Combine rail and bus interchanges, flight-timed departures, visible fares, luggage space and arrival reliability. Road travel times and all commercial quantities below are editable planning assumptions. Historical official pages support geographic context or an existing service only.
Rides = min(airport passenger movements × disjoint route exposure × capture, daily round trips × 2 × seats × operating days). One passenger movement supports at most one airport access ride in this model; exposure shares must total ≤100% per airport. This is not a unique flyer or population estimate. Operator contribution = fare revenue − airport receipt − ₹/km operating cost; no fleet ownership cost, tax or operator profit allowance is included. A positive contribution therefore does not prove bankability. Airport revenue is only its assumed net concession receipt, never gross bus fares.
Zero incremental air traffic is credited to the transport plan. Better access may shift existing passengers rather than create new trips; willingness-to-pay and diversion surveys must establish incrementality. Baseline non-aero revenue must exclude the same transport income before adding receipts.
Only routes with non-negative modelled operator contribution contribute airport receipts. Loss-making routes receive no receipt credit. Small airport programme costs and bay capex still remain in the enabled case; turn the programme off to test its cost. Municipal investment, operator fleet and passenger subsidies are excluded from airport cash flows.
Changes apply after “Recalculate bid case”. Distance is a one-way road planning estimate, not routed GIS. Target time is a service objective, not a forecast. Zero round trips gives no revenue credit and indicates on-demand procurement only.
Start with a scope-to-asset register: mandatory safety and capacity works; already-paid AAI assets/CWIP; discretionary commercial projects; land and statutory interfaces. Tie each construction draw to a certified milestone. The official ₹8,622 crore reference contains ₹6,461 crore of sanctioned and additional works and ₹2,161 crore of book value. The master model separates these components. Historical lifecycle allowances remain illustrative; replace them with a verified scope and cost plan.
Use phase gates: design procurement when annual utilisation exceeds 80%; seek delivery before 90%, subject to two peak seasons, runway/stands, planning permission, cash cover and lender approval. These thresholds are assumptions. Annual movements alone cannot establish terminal peak-hour or runway capacity.
Test an additional ₹100 net non-aero revenue per passenger at first-FY prices, 10% lower fixed opex, and 20% lower post-initial lifecycle works. Initial capex, fee rules and consideration are unchanged. This is an explicit unverified opportunity case; later capex reductions require scope approval and must not remove mandatory works. It does not establish that these savings can be achieved.
Phase 1 starts in year 3 plus delay; later capacity is released with lifecycle tranches. Capacity references are dated, and commissioning is unverified. These are master capacity assumptions. Adopted project cases also change the shared model at their specified spend and commissioning years; exploratory planning ideas enter only when explicitly adopted.

B1–B5 are retained internal dossier labels, not official lot numbers or investment ranks. Group composition is supported by the 149th PPPAC index (4 August 2026); final award terms require the tender pack. Traffic defaults are sourced AAI reported counts; capex and commercial inputs remain assumptions.
Schematic only; no geographic boundary, aerodrome design or operational approval is represented.
Nominal ₹ crore. Lines use actual fiscal-year spacing. EBITDA is after the assumed AAI fee and before depreciation, tax and interest.
These checks test accounting consistency. They do not verify inputs, asset feasibility or tender compliance.
t0 is the end of the FY before operations. Year 1–N cash flows occur at each FY end. Negative FCFE is an additional equity injection; positive FCFE is distributed. All money columns are ₹ crore, except passenger throughput in millions and DSCR in ×. CSV includes full annual detail and assumptions.
Capital and funding: Initial capex is spent equally at t0, year 1 and year 2. The remaining lifecycle budget is split into four equal tranches at floor(20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of operating years), with a minimum of year 3. No automatic capacity-triggered capex is assumed. Capex escalates from year 1 prices; t0 uses the same base price. Initial capex draws the chosen debt share; later capex, upfront payment and additional liabilities use equity. Interest is charged on opening debt plus half in-year draws. Debt repays in equal principal instalments from year 3. t0 draws begin accruing interest in year 1.
Tax and cash: Capex is depreciated in equal annual amounts over the stated life, from the year spent (t0 starts in year 1). Upfront and additional land/CWIP placeholders receive no tax depreciation. Loss carryforwards, MAT, GST, tax shields on equity, financing fees, interest during construction and interest income are omitted. Working capital equals the chosen share of revenue and is released at expiry. No terminal value, asset-sale proceeds, residual debt or handback cost is assumed.
Decision limits: DSCR excludes capex; large future equity calls may still occur. There is no cash reserve or restriction on distributions. Sponsor funding for all negative FCFE is assumed available. The international mix is held constant. Yield escalation does not represent an approved tariff path. Capacity is not a surveyed constraint and the model assumes ultimate capacity exists from year 1. Hybrid-till, RAB recovery, aeronautical depreciation and actual regulatory settlements are not modelled.
IRR and fee limit: IRR is shown only for a single cash-flow sign change; multiple sign changes are flagged as potentially non-unique and NPV is used. The fee limit is a bisection solution within ₹0–₹10,000 that satisfies both equity NPV ≥ 0 and minimum annual DSCR ≥ the selected floor. It permits future equity injections and is rounded down to a whole rupee for display. Failure at zero is shown explicitly. Sensitivities recalculate the model; they are deterministic stresses, not probabilities.
Each cell recalculates cash flows at 70%, 85%, 100%, 115% and 130% of the committed traffic level, with the capacity setting retained. Bold cells use the selected quoted fee. Green means NPV ≥ 0; it does not imply debt or tender compliance.
Downside: traffic ×85%, capex ×120%. Upside: traffic ×115%, capex ×90%. No probabilities assigned to this deterministic bridge. The bid decision layer separately runs actual seeded stress paths.
One assumption changes at a time; all other committed inputs remain fixed. The selected upfront consideration also applies to each group comparison as the same hypothetical total.
OLS dimensions are editable assumptions applied to the dated primary physical runway axis. Ground is flat, airport elevation is an unverified legacy reference, and building heights may be assumed. Official thresholds, declared distances, runway category, terrain, CNS/PANS-OPS constraints and current CCZM/NOCAS decisions are not incorporated. Screening flags identify questions for survey and review; they do not establish actual obstructions or allowable construction heights.
Profile is schematic with exaggerated vertical scale. Purple approach and blue take-off lines can overlap; the lower applicable surface controls this simplified screen. Threshold elevations are assumed level.
Only a bounded sample of mapped buildings/masts is present. Unknown building heights default to 9.9 m; unknown towers default to 35 m. Footprint vertices and centroid are sampled against the lowest implemented surface. Terrain, unmapped objects, trees, cranes, roof details and minimum-clearance margins are omitted. “Below model surface” does not mean an obstacle clearance or NOC is available.
A uniform illustrative precision-approach-style envelope is applied to all airports, including airports whose actual runway category may differ. This is not a claim that these dimensions are prescribed for any of the eleven airports. Approach/take-off are shown at both runway ends. The mapped primary runway endpoints substitute for surveyed thresholds and take-off ends. No displaced thresholds or declared-distance schedule is available.

History uses AAI’s published April–March cumulative total-passenger figures. Counts include passenger movements, not unique people. Capacity is the latest dated official reference located in this review where available; otherwise a marked legacy assumption. Current commissioning status and declared runway capacity remain unverified. New planner results do not automatically change the financial capex schedule or its ultimate-capacity assumption.
FY2026 = April 2025–March 2026. These are the figures as published in the linked source vintages; later AAI revisions can differ. Zero is a reported zero, not missing data. FY2021–FY2022 were affected by COVID; rebound growth is not a sustainable long-run assumption. March 2026 figures come from AAI’s currently linked Mar2k26Annex3_0.pdf, rather than the superseded broken URL.
Unconstrained demand grows from the reported FY2026 base at the planning case’s editable phased growth rates (default 7% / 4% / 2%). Use the copy button to match committed financial growth. Solid capacity is the planning case’s current annual capacity, stepping to an illustrative next-phase capacity at the selected commissioning FY. Unmet demand is a potential capacity gap, not a forecast of passengers actually handled.
“Source dated” does not mean confirmed as of November 2026. Peak-hour and runway inputs may be legacy assumptions. Simultaneous terminal occupancy is not necessarily a measured peak-hour processing rate. Trigger years are screening signals, not approved construction dates.
Estimated PHP = annual passengers × peak-hour share. Indicative passenger ATM/hour = PHP ÷ (seats × load factor). Freight, positioning, general aviation, seasonality and flight-bank bunching are omitted. Annual/peak/runway capacity units are separate; no fixed universal conversion is asserted.
Distance rings are geodesic-radius assumptions, not road drive-time isochrones or surveyed market boundaries. Competitor points use OurAirports’ public-domain community locations; route schedules, reliability, pricing and airline market shares have not been verified. No population is inferred from the ring area. North is up.
These are analyst-selected airport and locality candidates for market research. Catchments overlap: do not add airport flyer estimates as unique regional people. Hills, borders and road/rail access can sharply change the effective market.
No passenger-origin survey or verified catchment population was supplied. The top-down view infers resident and visitor flyer equivalents from reported throughput using explicit trip-frequency assumptions. It does not measure unique flyers. A separate bottom-up resident-demand calculation remains blank until population is entered; population and propensity assumptions are not verified forecasts.
Validate district/ward population, income and age mix, trip purpose, fares, surface access, competing airports and tourism-origin surveys before treating this as a market forecast. The financial model is not automatically rebased to the bottom-up estimate.
These airport records and risk prompts are inherited from the supplied dossier and remain unverified. They are useful questions for the data room, not design standards or contractual commitments.
Legacy likelihood and impact ratings are subjective 1–5 inputs. Article and schedule references have not been checked against a concession agreement. Proposed mitigations are requests for clarification, not enforceable protections.
