AERA clears 6% UDF hike at Navi Mumbai airport, far below Adani's 20% ask
Regulator approved a modest 6% user development fee increase for Adani's upcoming Navi Mumbai airport from April 2027, vs the 20% sought. Departing domestic flyers pay ₹738, making it India's second-priciest after Hyderabad. Lower-than-expected tariffs preserve discretionary spend for airport F&B and duty-free retail.
