Consolidated net profit after tax (PAT) stood at INR 65.38 crore, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of positive reported profitability despite challenging global macroeconomic and passenger traffic headwinds.
The company's consolidated EBITDA reached INR 1,569 crore for the quarter, advancing 2% year-on-year, supported by robust growth in non-aero revenue streams across key operating airports even as passenger traffic experienced localized softness.
At the asset level, Delhi Airport (DIAL) generated total income of INR 2,084 crore in Q2 FY27 (up 12.7% YoY) driven by a 20.3% surge in non-aero revenues, while handling 18.1 million passengers. Delhi Airport achieved positive PAT of INR 121 crore, marking its sixth consecutive profitable quarter.
Hyderabad Airport (GHIAL) handled 6.5 million passengers, registering a passenger traffic decline due to regional geopolitical headwinds in West Asia and airline route rationalization, yet total income reached INR 632 crore and PAT stood at INR 91 crore.
Mopa (Goa) Airport recorded total income of INR 104 crore, representing a 24.5% year-on-year increase fueled by a 35% jump in aero revenues following tariff normalization, while EBITDA doubled year-on-year to INR 24 crore.
Medan Airport in Indonesia contributed INR 151 crore in total income (up 4.3% YoY) and delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of positive PAT at INR 8 crore, despite domestic fleet reactivation delays constraining passenger growth.
Financing costs and depreciation rose during the quarter, largely attributable to the operationalization of the newly inaugurated Visakhapatnam (Bhogapuram) Airport, which commenced commercial operations on August 17, 2026.
