GMR Airport Q4 Performance

GMR Airports delivered a stable performance in Q4 FY26 and achieved record traffic for the full year.

In Q4, it handled about 32 million passengers with slight overall growth, driven by a rise in domestic travel, while international traffic saw a minor dip. Passenger levels remained consistently strong, staying above 10 million per month since October 2025.

For FY26, the company recorded its highest-ever traffic, reaching 121 million passengers, with both domestic and international segments showing steady growth.

Operationally, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Goa airports all achieved record performance in terms of passengers, flights, and cargo.

However, overall growth was slightly impacted by temporary factors such as airspace disruptions due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a runway upgrade at Delhi Airport, though operations improved after these issues were resolved.
