1.0 Executive Summary
GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) was incorporated on December 17, 2002 to design, build,
finance, operate and maintain the Hyderabad International Airport (named as Rajiv Gandhi International Airport) at
Shamshabad, Telangana. GHIAL is operated and managed by the GMR Group, which holds a majority stake (63%)
in GHIAL through its holding company GMR Airports Limited (GAL). Other shareholders of GHIAL are Airports
Authority of India (13%), Government of Telangana (13%) and MAHB (Malaysia) Private Limited (11%).
GHIAL signed the Concession Agreement with the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) on December 20, 2004 for a
period of 30 years from the Airport Opening Date (i.e. March 23, 2008). The concession is extendable for an
additional period of 30 years at the option of GHIAL. The airport was constructed at a cost of Rs. 2,920 crores. It
was funded by way of promoter equity contributions of Rs. 378 crores, debt of Rs. 2,120 crores and state
government support by way of an Interest Free Loan (IFL) amounting to Rs. 315 crores and Grant of Rs. 107 crores.
The airport presently has a passenger capacity of 12 MPPA and cargo handling capacity of 1,00,000 MTPA.
Passenger traffic has grown from 6.2 mn passengers in 2008 after the airport opened, to 10.5 mn passengers in 2015
(CAGR of over 9%).
As we are nearing the design capacity of 12 MPPA, it is pertinent to go in for expansion since operations and
passenger experience are typically impacted by passenger throughput during peak hours (PHP). The Concession
Agreement also mandates HIAL to ensure that prescribed quality standards are consistently maintained during the
tenure of the Concession.
In this Prefeasibility Report, it has been proposed to expand the terminal and associated facilities to augment
passenger processing capacity in order to meet the demand of the projected traffic growth. Post the proposed
modular expansion, RGIA would have the capacity to handle around 25 MPPA from the current design capacity of
12 MPPA. The projected pax traffic for FY25-26 is 26.16 million and the proposed expansion is expected to meet
traffic demand till 2024-25.

Page 8 of 70
RGIA outpaced the growth seen in the Indian Aviation Sector viz. as compared to around 8% CAGR of passenger growth
seen in the Indian Aviation sector, the passenger growth at RGIA has been over 9% during the period FY09-FY15.
Additionally, RGIA reached two traffic-related milestones in 2015, by servicing over 10 mn passengers (83.3% of its design
capacity) in a fiscal year.
2.4.2 Projected Traffic Growth
India is one of the fastest growing aviation market in the world and is poised become the world’s third largest aviation market
by 2030. As per Boeing, India will add approx. 1600 new aircraft in the next 20 years which is around four times the current
scheduled airline fleet in India. Several policy reforms and other measures are being undertaken by the government of India
to accelerate the growth of aviation in India. As a result, several new domestic airlines have been allowed to operate
scheduled service in India. Also, International airlines, encouraged by the strong and steady growth in international traffic
to/from India, are keen to expand their presence in the market. Additionally, the recent E-visa scheme launched by the GoI is
expected to give a major boost to inbound tourism in India and is already showing encouraging results since its launch in
October 2014.
This growth in Indian aviation is expected to generate significant demand for the aviation infrastructure and resources
available in India. In line with the macro environment trend, the traffic at Hyderabad Airport is also expected to show strong
and sustained growth in the future.
The unconstrained forecast for Hyderabad as per SH&E report is 43 mn total passengers by 2038, at a CAGR of 6.3% from
2015. (in Million Passenger Per Annum)

2.4.3 Rapid Capacity Assessment
Rapid Capacity Assessment of facilities at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA, HYD or the Airport) was carried
during September – October 2015, for ascertaining the current service level & serviceability of each of the major asset
classes. The main objective of the study was to assess the capacity of the airport systems as they exist today following last
seven year of majorly incident less operation, and secondly to identify the airport systems that currently limit service capacity
& which will require upgradation in immediate Future.
RGIA current facility is built to cater to 12 MPPA. The highlights of the capacity assessment are
• The 12 MPPA capacity was built based on the Lufthansa Traffic projected which forecasted higher growth way back in
2008
• Current capacity assessment have been based on revised Traffic which have projected moderate to high growth taking
into account the current improved socio political & economic scenarios
• Existing Airside facility (with an exception for Apron stands), will be sufficient to cater to demand for next 5 year but
the Passenger terminal & landside facilities will have constrained development requirement for RGIA
This capacity assessment has used a range of methodologies, some of them empirical in nature, together with benchmarking
techniques, and a range of assumptions regarding airport/airfield efficiencies and target load factors. The study reviewed the
airfield, gates and stands, passenger terminal, cargo terminals and other main facilities at RGIA. The ground transportation
system was addressed only in terms of the approach roads, rotaries, parking and the passenger terminal curbs. The main
conclusions are as follows:
The Airfield Capacity
Airfield Capacity is majorly defined by Runway & Stand capacities provided it is supported by efficient taxiway system and
effective operational procedures.
The major conclusions on capacity of Airfield are:
 Practical runway capacity attainable at RGIA will be at 45 mvts that relates to 6NM separations:
 Max annual service volume with 45 mvts would be 1,95,000 ATM will be reached at year 2024-25; and
 Stand capacity of 42 will be reached by 2018 as night parking demand tends toward 40 stands.
Runway Capacity Conclusions
The major assumptions regarding runway capacity relate to the efficient use of airspace and the continual upgrading of
technology and equipment. The efficiency that will be seen in the future, however, is beyond the control of GHIAL and
resides within AAI and its willingness to adopt revised approved procedures. Although the maximum capacity of 45
movements per hour or an annual service volume of 195000 annual movements may be achieved under ideal operational
conditions attainable at RGIA, but for planning purposes an hourly capacity 36 movements per hour has been taken based
other current operational procedure constrains & experiences at other Indian airports like in the case of for Mumbai & Delhi.
This relates to annual service volume (ASV) of about 156,000 movements which may translate to an annual passenger
volume of about 21.5-22 MPPA considering a load factor of aircraft mix & load factor of about 75%. Further, it is envisaged
that the given improvement to runway design at RGIA & further possibilities of optimization in approach & departure
sequences in line with international practices 45 peak movement would be a near term possibilities which can enable RGIA
to handle 25 MPPA traffic or more with the existing single Runway.

factors at RGIA
Need for Airside Expansion
Airport’s Aircraft handling capacity mainly relates to Airside capacity to handle number of movement across various
schedules which mainly relates to Runway & Parking stands capacities. Currently Runway has an approved peak movement
capacity of 30 ATM/Hour and it is expected that the same can be optimized to attain higher peak movements. The current
design and configuration of Runway system can cater to higher movements with provision of additional taxiway and exit
ways provided the approach and departure procedural sequence adopted by AAI mainly with respect to aircraft Separation
requirement which currently limits the peak movement.
The traffic projection indicates that the ATM’s at RGIA will grow from current 20ATM/Hr to 43 ATM/Hr by 2025-26.
Taking the experience at Mumbai Airport where in single runway it has been currently able to attain 38 ATM during peak
hours, it is expected that the peak movement at RGIA can be optimized to meet the projected capacity requirement without
additional runway.
For efficient runway operation it would require to fine-tuning the Exit/Rapid Exit taxiway along with provision of Taxiway
B to a larger extent. Taxiway B will be required to be extended by 2200 m from existing Taxiway B6 to up to Exit Taxiway
A3 during the first phase of development & subsequently to full extent as per the Dual taxiway configuration design of
Runway to enable higher efficiencies to be attained on runway utilization.

Aircraft Stands Capacity Conclusion
The expression of the capacity of aircraft stands at any airport measured in terms of annual passengers per stand is normally
used only as a benchmark for a macro-level estimate of likely stand requirements. The terms of reference for this capacity
study required such an estimate to be undertaken and the results were arrived at using two different methodologies.
The first method used was benchmark techniques for airports in the region to establish a range of productivities per stand in
terms of annual passengers per stand. When these are applied to the stands currently potentially available, the annual
capacity has been derived at 14.4 million passengers per annum as shown below.

A second method of measuring capacities involved the calculation of the number of stands required to accommodate the
provisional 2014-15 winter schedule. It was determined that there would be a requirement of minimum 26 stands to handle
the 10.3 million passengers per annum traffic projected for the 2014-15 year which results in an average productivity of
390,000 passengers per stand. When load factors were factored up from their present averages of 80% across domestic and
international respectively stand year productive stands rose to 410,000 Passenger/Stand. When the same where considered
and accounted for factoring in the stand capacity taking 42 stands the possible serviceable traffic indicated is between 16.5 to
17.2 mppa.
For planning purposes, the first methodology generating the more conservative capacity of 14.40 mppa has been adopted.
According to the GHIAL traffic forecasts this capacity will be reached in the 2019-20 timeframe. Although the addition of
contact stands would require the extension of the terminal piers, the construction of additional remote stands particularly
towards the west would be a straight-forward proposition.

If we consider the 2014-15 summer and winter schedule and forecast the future schedule upto 2025-26 based on the traffic
projection, it has been observed current 42 Apron parking stand wouldn’t be sufficient to cater to traffic demand till 2020-21
even if we discount the night parking demand which is on rise at Hyderabad. By not considering night parking demand it
would require minimum of 13 more stands to sustain the demand as per the projected traffic.
FIGURE 2-5: STAND REQUIREMENT PROJECTION BASED ON SCHEDULE BASED
Night parking demand at RGIA has grown substantially (current demand of about 21) and in future it is expected to grow
further, as new Airlines apart from Existing one’s focus more on Hubbing out of RGIA. Taking into context this trend it is
expected that by 2025-26, the demand for night parking would grow significantly at RGIA as the airport attracts more airline
hub operations, from current 21 to 40 more. The Night parking limits the stand availability between 11pm to 7am which also
relates significantly to Night international and Early Morning domestic peak at RGIA. Taking cognizance of the same and
projecting, the total stand requirement for traffic projection for 2025-26 will be 74 Apron stands, where translates to the
addition of minimum 32 new Apron stands.

Taxiway and Taxi Lane
With the expansion of Airside for provisioning of 32 new stands will also necessitate provisioning of additional access
taxiway for enabling the aircraft movement across the airfield. The minimum requirement to facilitate aircraft access to
stands and Runway given the new provision of 10 stands will be as following:
1. Development of full extent of 4260 m Taxiway B, with first phase being Extension of Taxiway B by 2200 m,
connecting B6 to A3 exits Taxiways. This should be a Code F compliant Taxiway in line with the Airfield and
Runway configuration
2. Provision of dual access Taxiway (TXY-M and TXY - M1) west of Terminal and Dual Taxi Lane north of terminal
(TXY-M2 and TXY-M3). This will only be Code C compliant Taxiway.
Page 15 of 70
Need for Terminal Expansion
The passenger terminal presently has the capacity of 3200 PHP (peak hour passenger), while it has been observed that in
2014-15 combined PHP traffic was 2855 PHP. The utilization is thus nearing 90% of the design capacity and the same is
reflected in the high congestion at the terminal as depicted by the photo gallery of Annexure II.
As per our projections, peak hour traffic will surpass the peak terminal capacity by 2016-17 and touch 7120 PHP by 2025-26.
The PHP forecasts are based on the assumption that it would be difficult to achieve peak hour dispersal at RGIA given the
peak slot availability. Further, flight schedules to and from RGIA during peak hours are defined based on slot availability at
the destinations and sources, which are mainly metro airports. Even if we project terminal requirements on a conservative
basis considering peak dispersal, the PHP traffic would exceed 3200 PHP terminal capacity in the next two years and reach
5676 PHP by 2025-26.
Page 16 of 70
A broad study of the capacity constraints thus clearly demonstrates an urgent need to undertake expansion of the terminal
building and associated facilities.
Specific expansion requirements for Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) are defined by various processor capacities and their
respective upgradation requirements. These requirements are defined based on space, facilities and system capacities to
handle forecasted traffic loads to sustain quality and service levels at all times. It has been proposed to expand the terminal
and associated facilities to augment passenger processing capacity to handle around 20 MPPA from the current design
capacity of 12 MPPA. The following sections describe the various terminal spaces, facilities and systems that impact
terminal throughput.
Forecourt Capacity
RGIA Passenger terminal has a unique design wherein the approach ramp is separated from terminal entry gate by 45 m. At
the Arrivals level, this space is utilized as the Airport Village. At the Departures level, passengers moving from the ramp to
the terminal have to cross the forecourt through two bridges positioned across the two main access entry gates.
The projected peak hour passenger (PHP) traffic for 2025-26 is 4732 PHP. However, the current peak of 1836 PHP on the
departure ramp already exceeds the forecourt handling capacity with the two bridges connecting terminal.
Projected load on approach and entry gates
As mentioned above, at the Departures level, passengers moving from the approach ramp to the terminal have to cross the
forecourt through two bridges. The approaches to these two bridges are the control points where passengers are segregated
from the meeters and greeters. Once the passenger crosses the bridges and approach the gate, CISF personnel screen the
passenger for the validity of travel document and ID check. On random surveys it has been noted that CISF personnel take 6-
Page 17 of 70
8 seconds per passenger at the entrance gates which along with the access bottleneck posed by existing bridge leads to
queuing on the departure level gateways during peak hours.
The bridge connecting the PTB to ramp is 6m wide and 35m Long. If we consider the average passenger walking speed with
trolley/bags of 3km/hr across the bridge it is expected that the 6m wide bridge can facilitate between 600PHP to 800PHP to
cross over at any given hour. So the two existing bridges can only to cater to a maximum traffic of 1600 PHP.
Due to the access restrictions posed by the current configuration as explained above, a third access & gate to the check-in hall
will be essential. Options such as widening of the existing bridges are technically not feasible due to the limitation posed by
the current cantilevered bridge design. Other option such as providing entrance through extended plate is not feasible without
expansion of the Terminal check-in area.
Hence, it is proposed to have a central bridge constructed in between existing two bridges along with a provision of new
central entry gates has been envisaged in the interim improvement plan as illustrated in the Drawing below. This will be the
only practical near term option available to ease the congestion in the departure forecourt. In the mid to long-term horizon
till 2025-26, as the terminal expands by three modules, additional entry access points will be provisioned which will cater to
the projected traffic demand.

Boarding Gates Capacity
Assessment of gate capacity has been done to ascertain whether the current configuration and number provisions at RGIA are
sufficient to accommodate future needs. The aircraft mix and average gate occupancy times observed at RGIA are as listed
below:

***Dedicated Gate for respective Class of Aircrafts (12 gate for NB operation and 3 gate for WB operation), 5

The analysis indicates that the existing gates can cater to demand of 22 ATMs/hr which is just enough to sustain current peak
operations at RGIA. The projected demand in future will necessitate the addition of new gates.
Projection for Gate Requirement
At Hyderabad, 30% of the domestic peak ATM traffic constitutes of turbo-prop aircraft which can only be catered through
remote gates. The remaining 70% consists of standard Code-C jet aircraft. It has been observed that the percentage of Turbo-
prop aircraft during peak is on a decline as more and more full size Code C jet aircraft are being operated by airlines during
peak hour. It is expected that the mix of turbo-prop aircraft will reduce from the present level of 30% to 15% of the total peak
ATM traffic. This will result in exponentially growth of demand for contact stands in near future. This trend can also
collaborated with demand for parking of turbo-props versus full size Code-C jet aircraft at Hyderabad coming down from
55% of total demand in FY 2008-09 to present level of 29% and is expected to go below 20% by FY 20-21.
Further, to provide best in class comfort to passenger, ease of operations for all stakeholders and higher safety levels due to
lower on-ground equipment on airside, it is preferable to use contact stands. In case of international traffic, aircraft mix is of
standards size Code C, Code D or Code E Jet Aircrafts with all being serviced through contact gates.
Assessment of the traffic forecasts indicates that the existing gate capacities wouldn’t be sufficient to sustain traffic growth.
To sustain traffic till 2025-26, we need to add 19 more contact stands (12 in Domestic side and 7 in International side). This
will take overall contact gates numbers to 31 including 4 MARS stands.
Domestic and International Departure gate Capacity versus projected Demand chart
(Horizontal Red lines indicate present capacity for International/Domestic side)
Page 19 of 70
For the new addition of contact and remote gates the only option available would be to expand the terminal piers linearly as
stipulated by the current modular design.
Need for Fuel Farm Expansion
The Fuel Farm at RGIA has 3 fuel tanks, each of capacity 4500 KL, with a total capacity of 13500 KL. On an average, the
current fuel off-take is 850 KL/day catering to a mix of 132 wide bodied and narrow bodied aircrafts. The Fuel stock
available cover allows for an average of 15days off take.
The fuel off-take capacity required at airports as per good industrial practice is 8 day. Taking same off take capacity as the
desired standard for RGIA, the current capacity is sufficient to cater to demand till 2017-18. But will require adding 2 more
tanks to cater to the demand till 2025-26.

Need for Airport Access Road development

 Existing Approach roads and road network Inventory
The main access road starts from the NH-7 and passes through the centre of the Airport site. It is approximately 8.30 km long
and constructed as 4 lane dual carriageway. The carriageway configuration of the main access road consists of the following
elements:
 7.5 m carriageway on either side of median.

 2.50 m paved shoulder on either side of Road
 1.0 m earthen shoulder on either side of road
 3.0 m central median
The wide median at the centre will be provided with suitable arboriculture scheme to make the overall plan for a clean and
green airport.
The connections of the loop near the terminal building with the main access road have been provided with a two Rotaries for
smooth transfer to and from the terminal. The alignment and profile of the main access road and all the rotaries have been
designed in compliance with Indian Road Congress guidelines and the details are given in “Basis of Design” volume.
Airport Approach Road Capacity
It has been observed red from the primary traffic studies that
Load on Main Spine
• On average, 1141 vehicles entered into airport from both ends and 1074 vehicles exited from airport.
• About 60 % of vehicles are entering / exiting from the West side gate.
The capacity has been derived based on standards defining the Urban Roads capacity as per the Indian Highways standards.

Requirement of Improvement to Airport Main Access Road
The current road capacity will be sufficient to cater to airport traffic for immediate future provided other traffic including
Cargo traffic are better managed by developing alternative circulation routes. Moreover the other development including
Commercial & noncommercial activities has picked up in and around Airport, and it has become imperative to develop
Other new Airport link road & sector road to divert the non-passenger traffic out of Main access Road. Pertaining to same
concept RGAI intent to develop Parallel loop roads connecting Main access road with new Link connecting Mansapally
Highway on the west & P7 &p10 Road on the North. (Illustrated below)
Page 22 of 70
Summary of Overall Capacity Requirement
The PTB building has the provision of modular expansion from its current capacity of 12 MPPA to a capacity of about 25
MPPA. In order to achieve this, the current design has provisioned sufficient building depth as this cannot be expanded in an
operating airport whereas the length can be easily extended. The general sizing of PTB are based on IATA recommendations
combined with experience from other airport designs, while taking into account technological trends that affect the
dimensions. The PTB’s exiting central building is built up of 2 x 36 m wide modules. Each module is self-contained system,
comprising a Check-in island, a section of the Baggage Handling System (BHS), baggage claim carousels, plant rooms,
support facilities as well as shops and offices. As the need for expansion arises 3 more modules can be added – one on
domestic side, and two on the international side. The analysis in the above sections have brought out the capacity constraints
as traffic inches close to the design capacity and requirements of expansion has been mapped with consistent design
principles. The required expansion activities are summarized in the table below:
The analysis also clearly indicates that constrained capacity of PTB and requirement for immediate interventions to augment
the existing facilities to ensure passenger comfort.
# Process Zones Summary of Expansion to meet 2025-26 demand
• Additions of 19 new contact stands are proposed with 12 in domestic and 7 in

Boarding Gates international zone. This will take overall contact gates numbers to 31 including 4 MARS
stands.
• To cater to increased traffic and requirements of night parking total stand requirement as
Stand Requirement per the traffic will be 74 Apron stands, which translates to the addition of minimum 32
new Aircraft stands.
• To facilitate aircraft access to proposed additional stands, cargo apron and to improve the
Runway utilization will require extension of Taxiway B by 4200m, connecting B6 to A3
exit Taxiways.
Taxiway • Additional Provision of dual access Taxiway (TXY-M and TXY - M1) west of Terminal
and Dual Taxi lane north of terminal (TXY-M2 and TXY-M3).

3.9 Options for Capacity Enhancement
Our assessment of capacity requirement based on traffic growth projections necessitates expansion. The existing Passenger
Terminal at RGIA is modular in nature and has been initially designed to be a facility to be spread over 8 levels. Any
expansion considered has to factor in existing structural layout and design possibilities along with its constraints. Owing to
the technical constraints, it is not technically feasible to incorporate any new design at this stage and hence to meet the
projected traffic growth, the only available option is to modularly expand the terminal.
3.10 Project Components
From the analysis of requirements for expansion, five major project components have been identified. The terms of reference
for the design are as follows:
 Entire expansion work will be taken up in one phase taking into account minimization of the passenger inconvenience
and optimizing the capex
 The expansion work will commence immediately after obtaining EC and is expected to be completed by 2020.
 On completion of proposed expansion works the Passenger Terminal Building would have a capacity to handle around 20
MPPA.

GHG Management and Airport Carbon Accreditation
GHIAL has voluntarily enrolled in the Carbon accreditation programmed launched by the Airports Council International
(ACI) worldwide. In this initiative GHIAL has directly achieved Level-2 (Reduction) accreditation in the year 2012 for the
effective GHG management during the years 2010 and 2011. This was followed by Level-3 (Optimisation) accreditation in
the year 2013. Significantly, Level-3 involves extended scope wherein the stakeholders (airlines, Ground Handling agencies,
flight kitchens and other service providers) are also influenced for effective reduction in the GHG emission. With that
achievement RGIA has become the 1st Airport in the country and 2nd airport in the Asia Pacific Region to be awarded with
the level 3 accreditation.
GHIAL reduced 5268 tonnes [5099 tonnes of GHG emissions + 169 t GHG sink] of its net GHG emissions in 2014 over base
year 2009 i.e. 17%
Page 47 of 70
Green Buildings
The Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) at RGIA has been created to provide a pleasant surprise to any visiting passengers
with its unique aesthetic look, energy and water efficient design. The building offers natural lighting naturally cooled
ambient air through HVAU and other special features to reduce fresh water usage and recycle waste water generated from the
building. For this unique achievement GHIAL has been awarded with the ‘Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’
(LEED) certification in the year 2008 by the US Green Building Council
RGIA Passenger Terminal Building
Page 48 of 70
Wastewater Reuse & Recycle
GHIAL has created an efficient Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) within the airport premises to treat the wastewater being
generated at the airport. The treated wastewater is recycled for flushing and reused for irrigation of the extensive
greenery within the airport. Also sludge generated from the STP is being used as manure for the plants in the airport.
Further, the domestic wastewater generation itself (all airport buildings) has been reduced to 33 litres per passenger in
2014 from 37 litres per passenger in 2013. During the year 2014 a total of 670 KLD of wastewater has been recycled and
reused.
Sewage Treatment Plant
Rainwater Harvesting
GHIAL is harvesting rainwater in large scale within the premises of the airport with a built-up capacity of 0.185 million
cubic metre. The rainwater net recharge at RGIA is estimated to be1.729 million cubic metre per annum. This rainwater
recharge has effectively augmented ground water table in and around the airport.
During rainy season the surface water is used for domestic and flushing purposes after preliminary treatment. This
practice is being carried out for 4-6 months every year on availability of surface water. Consequently, this effectively
reduces the dependency of municipal water.
Rain Water Harvesting at Westside of the Airport

Page 51 of 70
Solid Waste Management
At RGIA there is a sophisticated solid waste management system to make very good use of the food waste generated
from the airport. GHIAL has established a compost plant within the airport premises where all the food waste
generated from various sources from the airport is processed and converted into compost which is used as natural
manure to the plants of the vast airport landscape within the airport. Further, the paper and plastic waste are handed
over to authorized recyclers for reprocess and reuse.
Online Continuous Environmental Quality Monitoring
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is the first airport in the Country to commission an integrated online continuous
environmental monitoring station to monitor and automatic recording of environmental parameters on 24 x 7 basis
throughout the year.
Renewable Energy Uuse - Solar Farm

RGIA has commissioned a 5 MW solar power plant for its captive consumption and plans to gradually scale the capacity up
to 30 MW over the next two-three years.
Page 52 of 70
Located within the airport premises, the solar plant set up with an outlay of Rs 25 Crores, has started generating around
25,000 units per day of pollution free energy and meeting the airport's peak power demand during day time. The green energy
produced by the plant is equivalent to meet requirement of about 4,800 homes.
The plant has been set up in about four months time will cater to about 30 per cent of the airport’s terminal power
requirement. RGIA in next phase intents to ramped the capacity of the solar power project to 7 MW more and eventually to
30 MW, thereby meeting the entire requirement of the airport and its related establishments. The solar power plant has over
16,000 modules of solar panels, each having a fixed tilt for maximum sun exposure. These modules based on poly crystalline
technology are considered to be amongst most efficient. The Grid-connected system would be used for captive consumption
of the airport
FEATURES:
 Capacity - 5 MW
 Area - 21 acre
 Average Daily power generation - Appx 2.2 MW
 Date of commissioning - 8th Nov 2015
 Technology : PolyCrystalline
 Module : 310 Watts (19% Efficiency)
 Internal grid interconnection at 33KV level
 Theoretical expected generation units: 8 Mn. kWh per annum
GHIAL Community Service Activities
The Hyderabad airport has been a proactive organization in terms of its societal responsibilities, going much beyond the
obligated benefits for the surrounding communities. The community-service activities for GHIAL are fulfilled by a team
of social-work professionals who are part of the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation – the CSR arm of the GMR Group of
companies. The activities started in 2005, more than 3 years before the commencement of operations in 2008 and have
grown ever since, further reflecting airport’s commitment to the community stakeholders.The foundation works in
surrounding villages with the aim of strengthening village communities and their institutions through various
participatory rural development programmes and initiatives. The foundation conducts several vocational training
programmes for the youths and women. Some of the training programs are focused towards environmental conservation
like making of jute bags and providing training for landscaping and maintenance. The foundation also conducts
Page 53 of 70
awareness programmes on environmental conservation for school children. As recognition for its significant contribution
to the society, the foundation has been conferred with the President’s award for social responsibility.
Vision - To make sustainable impact on the human development of under-served communities through initiatives in
education, health and livelihoods.
Mandate and Coverage
With this vision as the focus, intensive activities are taken in 5 villages, while various other extension services are
spread in more than 20 villages around the airport. The span of activities covers the most significant areas of education,
health and livelihoods, with need-based programmes being implemented in each programme.
Some of the major highlights are given below:
Education
 As govt schools are often not only lacking in infrastructure but also leave a large gap in the learning levels of
the students in neighbouring govt schools. It has adopted 7 govt schools in the 4 neighbouring villages of the
airport to work towards improving quality of education. Year-long and regular activities include after-school
tuitions, extra teacher support, teacher training, providing teaching learning material, notebooks and any other
means to aid education. Total students covered are more than 2000.
 To further enhance the learning levels, a tie-up has seen made with IBM to install their IBM Kidsmart Centres
in the 4 adopted primary schools to provide technology aided and activity-based learning.
 The gap in infrastructure in these schools has also been supplemented with provision of benches, school toilets,
drinking water facility, etc. Every year close to 2000 students are benefitted by these activities.
 Adopted all govt anganwadis (pre-schools) in the neighbouring villages to work with smaller children and
prepare them better for schooling. Teaching-learning and educational support through workshops,
infrastructure, snacks, etc. Covers around 300 children every year
 Built and running GMR Chinmaya Vidyalaya – an English medium CBSE school providing affordable
education to all in the vicinity. The school since its opening in 2008 has been attracting a large number of
students and in 2012, the first batch of 10th class board exam students had 100% results.
 A ‘Gifted Children’ scheme runs in this GMR Chinmaya Vidyalaya for poor but meritorious students from
neighbouring villages. Such children are selected from the villages through a process and fully-sponsored to the
school. Currently 91 students sponsored from Std 1st to 10th.
 Community Libraries are being run at 5 villages Around 2500 users utilize the services of these libraries.
 Education support activities would have impacted more than 12,000 students in the last 6 years and continues to
do more.
 Health and Sanitation
 Running a Mobile Medical Unit (MMU), esp catering to elderly (55+ age group) in the neighbouring villages. A
qualified doctor, pharmacist and social worker provided free medical advise and medicines in a weekly
schedule to more than 500 beneficiaries every week. Covers people from around 20 villages and yearly
treatments are around 30,000. From 2006, this service has provided more than 1.8 lakh treatments.
 Weekly Evening Clinics in 5 villages for all age groups. Free doctor advise and medicines for all needy patients.
Covers around 700 patients every month.
 A RO Water Filter plant installed at Airport Rehabilitation village for providing quality drinking water to the
inhabitants. Benefitting around 150-200 households daily.
 Conducts health check up for pre-school and primary school children, covering around 1200 to 1500 children
every year.

 Supplementary Nutrition Centre for Pregnant and Lactating women in two villages. Provides daily food
supplements to cover deficiencies in calories, iron, folic acid, etc. Health awareness sessions are coupled with
this. More than 1000 women benefited in the last 5 years as better nutrition and pre/post natal awareness has led
to more than 90% institutional deliveries, good immunization follow-up, average baby weight has been found to
be around 3.0 kgs.
 Several eye camps, general medical camps, cataract surgeries, aids for disabled etc. are organized every year.
 Around 150,000 people benefitted in the last 7 years through the various health related activities.
 Empowerment and Livelihoods
 Running a residential vocational training centre for skilling school and college drop out youth through short-
term, job oriented courses. Courses conducted with industry partners like Voltas for Refrigeration and Air-
conditioning, Schneider for Electrician, Hero MotoCorp Dealers Association for Automobile, VLCC for
Beautician, Volvo for Excavator Operator, etc.
 Trained close to 2800 candidates in the last 8 years, where jobs have been facilitated for over 80% of these
trained candidates.
 Hyderabad airport being a Greenfield airport had lot of requirement of entry-level technicians and other staff at
its opening in 2008. Through tie-ups with different concessionaires, more than 800 candidates were placed in
suitable jobs at the airport. These not only included the trained electricians, AC technicians, computer operators,
etc. but also lot of raw people for jobs such as parking attendant, trolley pushing, housekeeping, etc.
 To provide income-generation training for women at the village level, tailoring and stitching programmes have
been undertaken, post which some of them were provided specialized training for making jute products,
uniform stitching, bag making, chocolate making, etc. These initiatives are now clubbed under - EMPOWER
(Enabling Marketing of Products of Women Entrepreneurs) initiative, where not only the training part but also
the marketing part is taken care of.
 The products are marketed through two shops at Hyd airport, one at Delhi airport, office sales, bulk orders for
conference and seminars and an online store also.
 The turnover in the last financial year reached close to Rs 76 lakhs benefitting hundreds of women and artisans.
 Others
o A ‘Grievance Redressal Mechanism’ has been created to record and address different types of requests and
complaints from the airport rehabilitation colony and other affected villages. The system records with date,
the nature of request and the action taken and any follow up needed.
o As there are more 11 different types of benefits being provided to the residents of the Airport Rehab colony,
a ‘digitized benefit map’ of the colony has been created which on a click of a button gives household-wise
data of the benefits being availed by each family in the colony.

Udyannam
RGIA, as part of promoting greening even beyond its campus, has a shop at the arrivals for selling plants, under the
brand name of Udyannam. These plants are reared at GHIAL nursery and marketed through this outlet, thus cultivating a
culture of ‘green gifting’!!
Environmental Promotion: RGIA very actively promotes environmental awareness to the airport community and to the
passengers by observing various days like World Environment Day, World Forestry Day, Ozone Layer Protection Day,
Earth Day, etc., .
E-boarding @ RGI Airport, Hyderabad: Promoting Paperless Efficient Travel
RGIA is the 1st Airport in India to Pilot as well as successfully implement End-to-End, E-enabled Passenger Processing
at all Check Points!
The E-boarding project at RGIA has been recognized by International Air Transport Association (IATA) as being
aligned to their “Fast Travel” vision and “Simplify the Business” initiative that allows for greater passenger choice
through access to self-service options.
The unique passenger workflow designed for the E-boarding pilot not only provides an enhanced passenger experience
but also ensures a high level of security. This automated process promises a better environment by going paperless;
lesser manual interface and convenient journey for passengers at RGIA – all these at no additional cost to the passengers.
Further, RGIA has gone the extra mile by ensuring that the E-Boarding facility implemented is an end-to-end process
covering all key passenger touch points at the airport without compromising on any security aspect.
From entry into the terminal, to boarding the aircraft, a passenger need to only use their e-boarding card. Movement
through this channels ensures that the passenger’s movements are tracked electronically (with timestamp) and through
dedicated HD CCTV cameras at each of these checkpoints. This enhances the security at the airport by adding an extra
layer of technologically advanced tracking to the existing security apparatus.
All these initiatives are paving the way for a tech-savvy, paper-less future for Indian aviation.
Wild Life Management
To address wildlife/Bird hazard mitigation measures from the flight safety point of view RGIA has adopted various scientific
approaches within its premises. The broad strategy is divided into reactive, preventive & proactive methodologies. Among
the reactive measures in-site deterrents like Acoustic & trained personal are being engaged to keep the bird & wild life from
the aircraft movement areas. The preventive measure includes continuous bird/wildlife patrols in the movement area by the
trained operation team with appropriate Expertise/ Equipment. The Proactive measure includes Regulated landscaping &
food cycle control for the predatory bird/wildlife. Further RGIA has employed a domain expert agency “Vanamitra” (NGO),
to conduct an all season study on the bird /wildlife deterrence covering 1 year , which has been completed in 2015. All
wildlife bird control measures are based on this scientific approach to ensure overall safe aircraft operation. We also work
closely with local government agencies to take care of bird/wildlife issues associated with the areas outside the airport
boundary.

Page 60 of 70
5.2 Power Requirement
The additional power requirement due to the proposed terminal expansion at the airport complex would be 4000 KWH. The
total power requirement for the additional proposed facilities will be met from the existing power supply of Telangana Power
Transmission Corporation Limited (TSTRANSCO) to the airport. The existing back up power supply available for the airport
will be extended for the expanded facility in the complex.
The existing power demand for airport operation of 16.4 MVA is being sourced from TSTRANSCO. Over and above the
same the demand projected for Aviation SEZ of 72MVA will also be sourced from TSTRANSCO commensurate to actual
development.
5.3 Utilities
There will be requirement to enhance the capacities of existing utilities for catering to the proposed expansion facilities at the
airport terminal. The upgradation of capacities would be commensurate to the additional demand & will be expanded in a due
course and will be extended to the expanded facilities also.
5.4 Economic Impact of GMR Airports - Hyderabad
Hyderabad Airport is contributing significantly to the overall economic and social growth of the Region. Some of the
highlights are listed below
 RGIA’s operations contributed about USD 1.5 Bn to the national GDP in 2009-10.
 RGIA’s construction contributed 122,000 jobs during the construction phase.
 RGIA’s operations overall contributed 840,000 jobs (0.18 % of national employment) in 2009-10. As a ratio to
State employment this contribution was 2.5%.

Economic Research Report, September 2012
5.5 Employment Generation Commensurate to Expansion
Project construction is expected to generate more than 5000 direct employment and double the figure indirect employment
which will span across 5-6 years.
Operational of Enhance capacities will also generate additional direct employment generation which might be double the
existing level due to enhance operating environment due to the expansion at the airport terminal. Alone with the same there
will be also substantial indirect employment generation due to the development higher traffic & expansion of activities
commercial & service activities which will have the potential to generate employment which would be 5-6 time the direct
employment numbers. So it is expected that the expansion will result having a tertiary support workforce in tune of about
10000. This includes indirect employment generation of about 4000 persons is envisaged for utility services along with other
5to 6 thousand in commercial & support services.

6.0 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R)
The present proposal is for expansion of the airport terminal from 12 MMPA to 25 MPPA and other air side facilities within
the existing airport premises. No additional land acquisition is involved as part of the proposed expansion.
Hence, no resettlement and rehabilitation is involved.

major contracts such as those for construction, purchase of equipment, finishing works etc. are proposed to be awarded on a
competitive bidding process.
7.5 Sources of Financing
The project is expected to be financed through a combination of internal accruals and Debt. Debt to be in the range from 70-
80% and balance to be through internal accruals.

8.0 Analysis of Proposal
RGIA has outpaced the growth seen in the Indian Aviation Sector and is presently operating at over 83% of its
design capacity. RGIA Hyderabad has seen strong traffic growth. The Passenger Traffic has increased from 6.2 mn
in FY 09 to 10.5mn in FY 15 showing a 20% year on year growth. This strong growth has led to congestion of most
passenger processing points.
As the original design of the airport is modular, the current expansion and all future expansions will follow the same
concept for capacity augmentation.
Post current proposed expansion, RGIA would have the capacity to handle 25 MPPA from the current design
capacity of 12 MPPA to meet projected traffic requirement for next control period. The required expansion must
be initiated immediately, in order to sustain the service levels.
