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.
RGIA is implementing a phased airport development programme to achieve airport capacity to handle 80+ million
passengers and to handle 1 million tons of cargo, along with required aeronautical and non-aeronautical uses,
facilities & utilities and transportation system to provide adequate passenger terminal capacity at the airport.
As part of the airport development programme and as per the Master Plan, RGIA has already initiated the expansion
plans comprising aeronautical area development inclusive of a New taxiways, Extension of terminals including Cargo
Terminals, all other ancillary and supporting aeronautical uses along with Non aeronautical area development
including city side commercial, utilities, roads and infrastructure support facilities for the airport.
The Current terminal has been built to handle capacity of upto 12 Million Passengers Per Annum (MMPA) but the
traffic Over the decade, has grown from 6.2 million passengers in 2009 after the airport opened, to 18.3 million
passengers in 2018 (CAGR of 12.8%). Resultant of the same Hyderabad Airport was operating at over 150% of its
design capacity. This had posed significant constraints in handling of the traffic and in view of the same over the
last one and half years, the airport has been proactively working on both the Short-to-Medium term solutions that
would enable the airport to effectively handle the growing traffic as the Airport take-up the expansion works
MOEF&CC had granted environment approval for expansion upto 25MPPA vide letter F.No10-35/2016-IA-111 dated
28th July 2017. But looking at the steep growth the 25MPPA traffic is expected to be exceeded by FY21 it is 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 50MPPA. The projected pax traffic for FY28-29 is 49.1 million and the proposed expansion is expected
to meet traffic demand till FY2029.
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
expansion, RGIA would have the capacity to handle around 50 MPPA from the current design capacity of 12 MPPA.
The projected pax traffic for FY28-29is 49.1 million and the proposed expansion is expected to meet traffic demand
till 2024-25.

RGIA outpaced the growth seen in the Indian Aviation Sector as compared to around 12% CAGR of passenger growth seen in
the Indian Aviation sector, the passenger growth at RGIA has been over 12.8% during the period FY09-FY18.
2.4.2 Projected Traffic Growth
The civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in the country during the last three
years India is expected to become the third largest aviation market by 2020 and is expected to be the largest by
2030.According to International Air Transport Association IATA, India will displace the UK for the third place in 2025. India is
estimated to see an investment of US $25 billion in the next decade in the airports sector, and traffic growth of 13 per cent,
according to Morgan Stanley. Rising working group and widening middle class demography is expected to boost demand.
Freight traffic also likely to go up as trade with the rest of the world increases.
The New Civil Aviation Policy has laid down the solid foundation for the sustainable future growth. Several policy reforms and
other measures are being undertaken by the government of India, viz UDAN scheme, increased traffic rights under bilateral
agreements with foreign countries and encouragement to FDI in aviation sector, to accelerate the growth of aviation in India.
As a result, several new domestic airlines have been allowed to operate scheduled service in India. Also, International airlines,
encouraged by the strong and steady growth in international traffic to/from India, are keen to expand their presence in the
market. In the coming 20 years, Indian companies will buy 2,100 new planes worth US$ 290 billion. 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 socio-economic progress of newly formed State of Telangana continues to firm-up in the last three
and a half years of its journey. The State has made remarkable achievements in some of the key sectors by grounding path-
breaking initiatives to reconstruct and revive the State economy. On account of the growth-oriented measures initiated by
the government, the state economy has taken a turnaround and grew at a higher trajectory of 9.0 percent in comparison to
all India growth rate of 7.3 percent. Hyderabad and its surrounding urban agglomerations are, together, the main growth
centre in the state. Apart from existing IT and ITeS sectors, pharma, engineering and diverse new areas of economic activity
are thriving in the city. A healthy state economy will fuel more travel demand and the city is forecasted to be one of the
fastest growing in India in coming years.
Hyderabad has the strong potential to further expand its route within the Indian aviation system. Hyderabad’s central Indian
location also provides significant transfer opportunities which the airport has already started to capitalize on. Hyderabad
benefits from its strong position to grow as a regional hub serving central and southern India, as well as providing a useful
one-stop location for east-west flows. Most domestic destinations can be reached within a two-hour flight time and most
Asia and Middle East within five hours. Hyderabad has great potential to expand its international service offering beyond the
Middle East and nearby Asia, towards the Americas and Europe which currently either lack sufficient service or not connected
directly.
The unconstrained forecast for the airport as per ICF report is over 70 million passengers by 2038. (In MPPA)

High Case ATM Forecast
It is expected that average aircraft sizes and load factors will increase over time. This results in a slightly lower growth rate in
ATMs than in passengers, averaging 6.2% over the forecast period, reaching 502,000 annual movements by 2038.
Similarly, the airport will service over 26 million passengers in 2021, and 49 million by 2030.
Cargo Traffic Forecasts: Hyderabad is well placed to develop its cargo business and the forecasts reflect the significant
potential for growth, reaching 933,000 tons by 2038-39, from its current level of 140,000 tons. This is equivalent to a CAGR
9.85%, which comprises 9.35% on domestic and 10.2% on international volume growth.
FY2018 shows a strong growth consistent with the passenger growth experienced since FY2015. Strong year-to-date numbers indicate a 11% cargo increase in volume on the year prior. This upward trend forecasted will continue for the rest of the FY19 and to continue into the short term before growth gradually lowering to more sustainable levels. International cargo volumes forecasted to continue strong growth as the local industries continue to develop and as the global economy starts to see stronger economic growth. Further to the same, it’s expected that the Growth in domestic and international traffic for passengers balance over the past years expected to continue with Growth in domestic cargo being slightly behind international cargo. Domestic cargo (including express) represent 42% of total current volume & Furthermore, potential future shift of split in volume uplifted by freighter carriers versus uplift via belly of passenger aircraft might in a small way influence the overall carried volume. In addition to the overall growth figure, the development of an integrator product at HYD could evolve that would provide further impetus to cargo traffic in following ways
1. Persist current operations in uplifting express cargo on commercial airlines to other hubs in Delhi. Current volume is expected to develop for the coming years in line with overall cargo growth
2. Become a spoke in the network of an express integrator like DHL this may result in addition of 6 freighters a week to Hyderabad that could result in handling of 25,000 to 30,000 tons of additional express cargo
3. Develop to an Indian regional hub of an express integrator which may result in daily connections to 4 stations in India this could add 25 freighters a week: 100,000 – 120,000 tons of express cargo

4. Integrator scenario could be to develop to an International Hub of an express integrator. As of today the likeliness of this scenario is considered be relatively high in current context, give that integrators like FedEx Showing interest.
Figure 2-2: GHIAL cargo tonnage forecast for RGIA
The relative growth patterns reflect both the forecast growth in passenger movements, which will continue to carry significant volumes of cargo tonnage, as well as the expected higher potential for international percentage growth, particularly in exports. By FY2029, Hyderabad will handle approximately 529,000 tons, about three times of today’s volumes. Volumes by 2038, expected to reach over 936,000 tons. 2.4.3 Rapid Capacity Assessment
Rapid Capacity Assessment of facilities at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA, HYD or the Airport) was carried during past few months, 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 10 years of majorly incident less operation, and secondly to identify the airport systems that currently limit service capacity & which will require upgradation in immediate Future. The airport presently has a passenger capacity of 12 MPPA and cargo handling capacity of 150,000 MTPA. Over the decade, Passenger traffic has grown from 6.2 million passengers in 2009 after the airport opened, to 18.3 million passengers in 2018 (CAGR of 12.8%). GHIAL applied for environmental Clearance in 2016, on the requirement for expansion from 12 MPPA to 25 MPPA capacity, which was granted as on June 2017. This was based on the forecast by ICF Limited, UK which we had used for traffic projection in FY2015, as per the same the expected traffic in the year FY2018 was 15.8 million and the traffic in FY2025 was projected to be 26 million, the figure of the base year has been observed to be exceeded much prior to the estimation with airport expected to touch 26MPPA by FY2021 itself. This unabated growth in traffic has compelled RGIA reassess the need for our expansion plan which we have worked out in consultation with Landrum & Brown Worldwide Services & NATS. We have relied on latest traffic study carried out by ICF which projected traffic throughput of 49.1 million by FY2030 at a CAGR of 11.3% and considering the expected 3,68,000 ATMs, it is assessed that the existing Airside & terminal can be expanded modularly towards east and west to increase the terminal area with associated capex in ramp and apron expansion where by the airport capacity at south can be extended to cater to 34-40MPPA traffic with new runway & New terminal at the norther to cater to any additional traffic beyond 40MPPA.
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 13 of 101
It is pertinent to plan for expansion to a higher capacity level 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. Hence, in view of the forecasted traffic growth, RGIA is putting a conservative effort to increasing the airport capacity to 50 million. In view of the persistent traffic growth in the foreseeable future as emphasized by ICF study and Ministry of Civil Aviation projecting annual traffic growth of 15% in coming 10 years, we are making our Airport & terminal future-ready by making available required infrastructure to address the opportunities being offered by the exponential growth. We are undergoing a process of detailed planning for the requirement of incremental capacity expansion which would be initiated over the next 10 years in order to sustainably cater to the traffic demand. RGIA current facility is built to cater to 12MPPA. The highlights of the capacity assessment are • The 12MPPA capacity was build based on the Lufthansa Traffic projected which forecasted higher growth way back in
2008 • Current capacity assessment have been based made revise Traffic which have projected high growth taking into account
the improving investment scenario along with other socio political & economic scenarios • Interim short to medium term measures has been initiated to increase the handling capacity from current 12mppa to
20+MPPA to bridge gap and sustain the traffic demand as airport embark on the full scale Capital expansion spanning over 3-4 years.
• Existing Airside facility (with an exception for Apron stands), will not be able to meet the demand for next 10 year whereby it become pertinent to start planning & development of Norther Runway & terminal
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:

2.4.4 The Airfield Capacity
Airfield Capacity is majorly defined by Runway & Stand capacities provided it is supported by efficient taxiway system and
effective operational procedures.
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 15 of 101
The major conclusions on capacity of Airfield are Practical runway capacity attainable at RGIA will be will be between 51 to 57 mvts that relates to 6NM separations. Max Annual service volume with 51 mvts would about 3, 0,000 ATM which will be attained by FY24 & with 57
movement it will be 3,35,000ATM that will attained by year FY2026 Beyond FY2026 the airport will require new runway to cater to forecasted traffic Stand capacity of 42 will be reached by 2018 as night parking demand tends toward 40 stands For the 40MPPA capacity of southern precinct about 119 stands would be required to be additionally created & for
the 50MPPA capacity minimum of 16 stands need to be created toward the New northern Airside 2.4.5 Need for Airside Expansion
An important aspect of airport ability to cater to the current & future traffic are the capacities of its runway system, passenger terminal and other support infrastructures to service the demands imposed by traffic growth RGIA airfield infrastructure has an intrinsic capacity higher than the current number of operations, but a paradigm shift in operating procedures and intensity of demand is required to release that full capacity in the short term. The current declared RWY capacity is 33 ATMs per hour and can increased to 36 ATMs per hour with existing airfield infrastructure. With the forecasted future intensity of ATM demand, RGIA has an opportunity to enhance its existing single runway capacity which has the achievable capacity (as per current technology) of 51 to 57 peak ATMs per hour based on the reduced 6 Nm inter-arrival separations and by the implementation of the following: • Arrival average ROTs should be 50 seconds or less and any added gaps should be used to release departures • Facilitate collaboration through an Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) programme • Runway end hold pads in both RWY directions to optimize the taxi departure sequence • Arrival flow (sequencing) optimization using ATC automation tools • Repositioning of 2 Rapid Exit Taxiways (“RETs”) at optimized location and additional taxiways for secondary runway– to
improve arrival and departure aircraft taxi circulation and minimize delays • A second full parallel Code F taxiway • Human Factors i.e. Staff Training of Ground Handlers to ATC • Multiple departure routes for each runway end to allow for diverging departures
Figure 2-3: Runway Capacity Assessment
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 16 of 101
The study including simulation done by NATS (NATS-UK, who are Global leader in air traffic control and airport performance) has validated the achievable runway capacity of upto 57 peak ATM capacity on the existing single runway & is consistent with the maximum capacities attained for single runway at other airport like Mumbai in India. Annual capacity is a function of the peak hour to daily to annual demand relationships. It is conceivable that the peak hour runway capacity of 57 ATMs will be adequate to accommodate annual demand of 40 MPPA until FY2026 based on a 7% peak hour factor. A peak hour factor of 8% would translate to an annual capacity equivalent to the annual demand of 34 MPPA being reached in FY2024. So for all practical purpose, the annual demand level that can be accommodated corresponding to a 57 peak hour ATMs will lie somewhere in between 34 and 40 MPPA subject to the extent of peak hour spreading with the current aircraft mix. However, globally, aircraft sizes/capacity have seen an upward trend, and if the same trends apply to Hyderabad Airport’s operations going forward, the long run capacity for single runway is likely to be closer to 40 MPPA. beyond 40MPPA, it will be necessary to add new runway to cater that may enable the airport to cater to 50MPPA & more. Cognizant to the existing Runway capacity which will be about 40MPPA & additional new runway on the north, the other Airside & landside facilities has to be upgraded & created to support & sustain the traffic which is currently designed to cater to a traffic of 12MPPA. For the airside there will be 4 main upgrades required namely:
1. Improvement to existing runway a. Rapid Exit Taxiways Addition b. Full Extension Parallel Taxiways (Txy B)
2. New Runway with Full Extension Parallel Taxiways & 4nos of rapid exit Taxiway
3. Additional Aircraft Stands (overall 135 Stands)
4. Single alignment of Dual Cross Taxiway to connect south airside with northern new airside
5. GSE Tunnel to reduce the aircraft & GSE movement conflicts
2.4.5.1 Additional Aircraft Stands
The current airside infrastructure with runway system & 42 stands are just enough to sustain the current peak of 33
Movements with a consideration of maximum 34 Night parking. As per the current demand, the nigh parking requirement is
in excess of 45 stands and overall minimum Aircraft stand requirement in excess of 54. To cater to this demand of 54 stands
requirement, the following interim provisioning has been done where the stands have been developed without having fuel
hydrant, specifically to cater to growing Night Parking Requirement:
1. 10 Additional Code C stands by reconfiguring existing Cargo stands
2. 5 Nos of Code C power-in & power-out stands south of Taxiway-E, by converting Code F taxiway to Code C taxiway
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion

Figure 2-4: Interim stands provision layout
Below is the stand requirement forecast in line with the projected traffic:
Figure 2-5: Stand Requirement Forecast
As per the forecast the stands demand would grow from current 44 Nos to 135 Nos at 50MPPA. In order to meet the
forecasted demand following map illustrates how RGIA intent to accommodate the additional Airside infrastructure
requirement to meet the 50MPPA requirement.
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 18 of 101
Figure 2-6: 50MPPA development Plan
2.4.6 Need for Terminal Expansion
Existing passenger terminal has the capacity to handle only combined peak of 6400 PHP (peak hour passenger) (3200PHP
capacity for Departure & Arrival respectively)), while as per the current traffic in FY 2017-18, the combined PHP traffic has
surpassed 7,666 PHP. The terminal thus has surpassed the design capacity and the same is reflected in the high congestion
at the terminal.
Figure 2-7: Peak Hour Traffic Forecast
As per our projections, peak hour traffic shall touch 11511 PHP by FY 2020-21 and 21673 PHP by FY 2029-30. 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
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 19 of 101
& high percentage of OD traffic that constitute the bulk of the traffic demand. 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.
A broad study of the capacity constraints thus clearly demonstrates an urgent need to undertake expansion of the terminal
building and associated facilities to a higher capacity.
Going with the airside capacity where by southern airside maximum handling capacity will be of 40MPPA so the Terminal
herein will also be expanded inline with the same beyond the same a new terminal will be developed at the norther prescient
to cater to capacity requirement beyond 40MPPA. Terminal-2 will have an initial capacity of 10MPPA that can be modularly
expanded to cater to future requirement inline with the principle & design of the Terminal-1.
The projected pax traffic for FY 2029-30 is about 49.1 million. RGIA plans to expand the existing Passenger terminal (T-1)&
develop New Terminal (T-2) in a phased manner to accommodate a total demand upto 50 MPPA .
Expansion requirements for Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) are defined by need to augment various passenger processor
capacities to cater to the forecasted traffic demand. These requirements are defined based on space, facilities and system
capacities to handle forecasted peak traffic loads while sustaining quality and service levels at all times. The following sections
describe the various terminal spaces, facilities and systems that impacts terminal throughput with a highlight on the
expansion requirements of respective terminal elements as per the Traffic Forecast
2.4.6.1 Ramp and Kerb Side Required for T-1 & T-2
The approach to existing Terminal-1(T-1) & proposed Terminal-2(T-2) will be through a loop road which connects the terminal
to the main access road and other facilities. There are two traffic forecourts in existing T-1: (i) the upper forecourt catering
to embarking passengers and (ii) the lower forecourt which caters to arriving passengers and same would be replicated on
the the new T-2. The present layout of the terminal kerb-side is as below:
Figure 2-8: Existing Traffic forecourt layout at RGIA
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 20 of 101
Figure 2-9: Proposed Traffic Forecourt for T-1 & T-2
Load on Ramp as per projected traffic:
The arrival and departure ramps at RGIA with an effective kerb-length of 220m can presently handle 32 cars each at any single
point of time i.e. 32 cars can be parked simultaneously at the arrival or departure ramps. It has been observed that the
average dwell time for a car at the ramp varies from 1.5 to 2 minutes at the departure zone and up to 3 minutes at the arrival
zone. Taking cognizance of the same, the current departure ramp can handle approx. 1100 cars during the peak hour and the
arrival ramp approx. 600 cars during the peak hour.
An assessment of the kerb-side has revealed that the peak traffic load observed at the departure ramp between 4 am – 6 am
and at the arrival ramp between 9 pm – 10 pm, already exceeds design capacity, resulting in ramp congestion at the
departures and arrival levels. On a general term over 1,000 vehicles pass through the arrival and departure ramp during peak
hour. The traffic demand at Arrival is tapered to some extend as about 30% of the arriving pax move directly to level below
the ramp on to parking area to take available public transportation buses or Radio cab/Taxi
Departure and Arrival kerb-side projected length requirement (Box reflect the respective terminal)

2.4.6.2 Passenger Check-in Capacity
For the assessment of check-in counter requirement, the check-in area has been modeled as a common use area i.e. to state
that all counters can be used for either international or domestic passengers. For future projections of requirement of
counters we have considered average process time of 90 sec/pax for domestic check in and 180 sec/pax for international
passenger. Due to technological development & more and more passenger option for self check-in & web check-in the
demand for conventional counters will be reduced substantially. RGIA, being pioneer in adoption of technology (has been the
first airport in India for implementation of E-Enabled services like E–boarding), the new development echoes the same ethos
where in manual counters are being marginalized as the time goes by. The same consideration has been take for the future
check-in requirement forecast.
The use & popularity of CUSS/Web Check-in is on increase which has been made possible due to technological advancements;
Due to the same the demand for Self Bag Drop facility are on increase and demand for Conventional counters reduced
substantially. RGIA, being pioneer in adoption of technology (has been the first airport in India for implementation of E
enabled services like E –boarding), the new development echoes the same ethos where in manned counters are being
marginalized as the time goes by. The same consideration has been take for the future check-in requirement forecast.

Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 22 of 101
Figure 2-11: Check-in Counter Requirement
The analysis indicates that the existing facility of 60 inline baggage counters at check-in zone is rapidly approaching their
design capacity. The demand generated by projected traffic by 2030 will require additional of minimum of 103 Manned Check-
in Counters, 132 Baggage Drop & minimum 42 CUSS counters. This will necessitate
Existing terminal(T-1) to cater to 40MPPA where by addition of 6 more check-in islands which will modularly provide
minimum 132 more counters and taking the total number of counters to 192
Development of new terminal (T-2)with atleast 2 check-in island having provision 44 counters with 25 being Baggage
drop & 19 manned counters
For provision of the five additional Islands it will require extension of the PTB by 6 modular grids given integrated design
where in each check-in island comes with 22 baggage counters configuration around single inline baggage handling system.
For providing additional space for circulation & for provision of ATRS screening, the check-in island existing & proposed has
been proposed to be redesign with 22 counters each which will be more efficient given the handling capacity of inline baggage
system.
2.4.6.3 Security Screening Capacity Screening Lanes
The existing 12 x-ray channels have the capacity to process up to 1800-2000 PHP. However if consider the split across
domestic and international having 8 x-ray channels available each (including 4 channels with swing provision) can cater to
maximum of 1360 PHP. The current peak experienced at the domestic side is 2684 PHP, which is double the design capacity
which has been catered by redesigning the existing space taking by taking some area from check-in hall and providing overall
17 screening lane so as to meet the current demand as illustrated in the drawing below. This will be an adhoc arrangement
as it creates congestion at check-in & any further capacity up-gradation will necessitates expansion of building space to
accommodate the additional Screening facilities.
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 23 of 101
Figure 2-12: Original T-1 12MPPA Check-in Hall Layout
Figure 2-13: Developed Interim Layout Scheme to cater to traffic growth beyond capacity
Taking the cue from the technological advancement, we intent to upgrade all the screening lane system to ATRS screening
lane which will have capacity to handle 350 bags/hr as against 170 bags in the conventional system where by the requirement
of spaces & equipment is optimized to bare minimum. Consistent to the same consideration the future requirement are
forecasted taking ATRS machines into context.
Figure 2-14: Security Screening Requirement Forecast
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 24 of 101
The observations on the requirement in line with the traffic projection are as listed below:
Existing terminal, T-1 will be expanded to enable provision 30 ATRS lane configuration with a facility for swing of 3 ATRS across domestic & international
New terminal (T-2) will be developed with an provision 6 ATRS Machine with a facility for swing of 2ATRS across domestic & international
The space available as per the current layout doesn’t allow us to comfortably position more than 20 ATRS X-RAY channels.
This necessitate expansion of the terminal by three modules as illustrated in the drawing below for T-1.

The analysis indicates that the gates provisioned as per current capacity can cater to demand of 26 ATMs/Hr, which was not
enough to cater to growing traffic and on an interim basis 4 additional Remote busing gate was created just enough to sustain
current peak operations at RGIA which is about 30-33 ATM/Hr. 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 20% of the total peak
ATM traffic. This will result in exponentially growth of demand for contact stands in near future. This trend can also be
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 2029-30.
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.
Figure 2-17: Domestic and International Departure gate projected Demand chart
Assessment of the traffic forecasts indicates that the existing gate capacities wouldn’t be sufficient to sustain traffic growth.
To sustain traffic till FY 2029-30, we need to add 61 more contact stands (32 in Domestic side and 29 in International side
where by some stand can be made available for swing ops for flexibility). The additional of cate will be as listed below
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 27 of 101
1. T-1, will be expanded to accommodate a overall contact gates numbers to 51 including 8 MAR Stands. We will need
to add 6 more remote gates to meet the demand of 21 stands in FY 2025-26
2. T-2 will be construction with a overall contact Gate of 10 & 6 Remote gate.
3. Combined T-1 & T-2 will have the total capacity to cater to traffic in excess of 50MPPA
For addition of contact and remote gates in T-2, the only option available would be to expand the terminal piers linearly as
stipulated by the current modular design. All the Contact & remote gates in T-1 & T-2 will have E – Boarding facility.

2.4.6.5 Emigration
The average process time observed at emigration counters is 90 second/pax. This process involves travel document
verification and passenger photo profiling. Based on this assumption and international traffic forecasts, the emigration
counter requirement projections indicate that the current provision of 22 counters (which include 2 supervisory counters) is
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 28 of 101
constrained as per current traffic. Beyond this, we need to expand the emigration area in T-1 to add minimum of 34 more
counters to sustain traffic until FY2025-26. Beyond the same 15 counters has to be provisioned in T-2 to cater to the demand
upto 50MPPA traffic.
Figure 2-20: Emigration Counter Capacity versus projected Demand chart (Horizontal Red line indicates present capacity)
2.4.6.6 Immigration The current international arrival peak passenger is around 879 PHP which is expected to grow to 2278 PHP by FY2029-30. The
average process time observed at immigration counters is 90 second/pax. This process involves travel document verification
and stamping. Based on this assumption and international traffic forecasts, the immigration counter requirement projections
indicate that the current provision of 21 counters is just enough to cater to current traffic.
Figure 2-21: Projected Immigration Counter Demand
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 29 of 101
Beyond this, we need to expand the immigration counters by adding minimum of 37 more counters to sustain traffic till FY
2025-26 at T-1 & additionally 15counter with T-2 for catering to traffic upto 2029-80. As a whole there may be requirement
of additional counters over and above the projected 73 counters to cater to demand growth of the same in line with the new
requirement like On arrival Visa, etc.
2.4.6.7 Baggage Claim The baggage handling system plays a crucial role in managing passenger traffic. Two baggage claim units are provisioned for
domestic and international passengers and positioned adjacent to each other in the baggage claim zone at Level D. Belt
number 2 and 3 (both 90m) cater to domestic traffic whereas belt 4 (90m) and 5 (70m) cater to international traffic. Belt 3 is
designed to be used as a swing belt.
The current baggage claim units, in a single configuration model, have the capacity to be able to cater to 11 Code-C aircraft
with standard configuration and a load factor of 80%. Considering the arrival baggage handling of domestic and international
system separately, it can be observed that the baggage claim units (carousels) provide the sufficient capacity to only cater to
the current demand.
However, for the international BHS the system throughput capacity gets highly regulated to an average of 300-400bags/hr.
due to mandatory customs screening requirement with decision time per bag taking 8 - 16s per bag as per current procedures.
X-Ray screening has been the bottleneck for International Arrival Hold Baggage, planned upgradation of facilities includes
installation of Matrix Server Screening System, additional Infeed & Hold Baggage X- Ray machine, etc. for enabling faster
screening has been initiated by virtue of which the baggage throughput is expected to improve to 10 bags/minute translating
into 600bags/hr. Considering the same, each of international baggage claim units can handle one standard Code-E aircraft or
two Code-C aircraft at any given time. Taking this into consideration, the current international baggage claims units can
handle a maximum of three Code-E aircraft (when the swing is in operation) or six Code-C aircraft. If the domestic swing is
unavailable, only two Code-E or four Code-C aircraft can be serviced. To cater to the current Arrival peak of 16, there was a
need to add a minimum of 60m belt, which was added within the existing built-up as illustrated in the drawing below.
Existing Layout of Baggage Claim Area at RGIA
The future requirement for baggage claim systems has been tabulated by considering claim device occupancy time of 40
minutes for international flights and 20 minutes for domestic flights. The maximum throughput is taken as 600 bags/hr for
the international baggage claim system and 1080 bags/hr for the domestic baggage claim system. This projection illustrates
that the baggage claim area for both international and domestic passengers need to be expanded as the terminal approaches
its design capacity.
Capacity of baggage handling facility

(Horizontal Red and Black lines indicate present capacity for International/Domestic side)
For catering to demand till FY2025-26, T-1 will require to add minimum of 9 claim belt of 90m baggage claim for domestic
and 5 Claim belts of 90m for International. For provisioning of the same this will necessitate expansion of terminal modularly
both toward west and east to accommodate the same. As for catering to Traffic beyond FY2026, it will require to develop T-
2, with minimum 2 Nos of 90m baggage claim for domestic and 2 Nos of 90m Baggage claim for International.

2.4.7 Interim Arrangement to Decongest Existing Terminal
The Current terminal been built to handle capacity of upto 12 Million Passengers Per Annum (MMPA) but the traffic Over the decade, has grown from 6.2 million passengers in 2009 after the airport opened, to 18.3 million passengers in 2018 (CAGR of 12.8%). Resultant of the same Hyderabad Airport is presently operating at over 150% of its design capacity. This had posed significant constraints in handling of the traffic and in view of the same over the last one and half years, the airport has been proactively working on both the Short-to-Medium term solutions that would enable the airport to effectively handle the growing traffic as the Airport take-up the expansion works. As part of short-to-medium term solutions, several terminal decongestion initiatives as listed below have been undertaken
to sweat the existing infrastructure to the fullest.
Existing Terminal Improvement - A reputed international consultant was also brought on-board for a detailed study on
increasing the throughput and sweating all existing airport infrastructure. Passenger flow simulations were also done
and as result, several measures were put in place e.g. increasing the security check-in lanes to 17Nos, deploying non-
baggage counters for check-in, increasing the entry lanes to the terminal, ramp management, use of extended plates etc.
Development of additional Capacity through
Creation of one level processor building (Interim International departure terminal) attached to existing terminal that can
handle in excess of 1100 peak passenger for international departure. This terminal will have exclusive facilities enabling
check-in, security, immigration, customs processes for international passenger
a. Interim International Departure Terminal (IIDT) has a total builtup area of 9600 Sqm with 38+4(premium Check in
concourse) check in counters, 8 hold baggage screening machines, 4 ATRS and 1 conventional hand baggage screening
machines and 22 Immigration counters and shall be operational by 31st August 2018.

c. Swing of existing 90m Baggage Belt Nos-3 to international Operation - To sustain International traffic till 2021, an
addition of minimum one 90m belt is required.As with respect to additional of additional capacity through IDAT for
domestic the existing 90m Belt Nos-3 will be swing across for catering to International operations during the peaks

years.
2.4.8 Allied Infrastructure Development Requirements
2.4.8.1 Cargo Air cargo volume at RGIA grew with 9% CAGR since FY 2011-12 to a 138kTon in FY 2017-18. It is expected to grow to 575K ton by FY2030. Hence, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) has initiated the process of expand of air cargo facility from current 14,490m2 to meet the growing demand of the shipment of Cargo (general cargo + Pharma + Perishable) from RGIA. Air cargo facility requirements are based on the 2017 forecast and Cargo Master Plan recommendation by NACO and are presented in Table Below. As per the same, it is envisaged that all-cargo operations at RGIA would require to be expanded to cater to demand till 2027 with an approximately 30,000 M2 of building space specifically catering to general cargo and perishable & Pharmaceutical Cargo . With allowances for truck and vehicular parking and GSE storage, a total site requirement of approximately 10Ac of plot area will be required & which is available as illustrated in the proposed expansion plan details.

In order to determine the required floor space to efficiently handle the anticipated cargo volumes, planning parameters are used. These planning parameters are based on the analysis of the existing conditions, the level of ambition, the size of the cargo volumes in the planning period and international best practices and experience. For RGIA, the following planning parameters have been used: Table 2-7:-Cargo Forecast Planning Parameters

Based on the forecasted expansion requirement Schematic Design for Expansion of General Cargo Terminal building including exclusive Pharma Zone need to be developed that provides a scope of future further expansion of General Cargo Terminal. The design also should take care of
1. Airside Infrastructure requirement such as staging of ground service equipment (GSE), airside service road, ULD Staging Area, back of stand road etc.
2. The landside interface of the cargo terminal will be primarily for the acceptance of trucks. Truck Docks/Truck marshaling bays prior to docking as required.
4.1 Cargo Airside Infrastructure Requirements Anticipating on an average of 2 flights per day per stand and an average cargo load of 20 tons per aircraft* and an assumed additional peak demand of 25%, the number of aircraft stands can be estimated. For the general cargo a split of 80% of belly cargo and 20% full freighter cargo has been adopted as per the existing situation conditions. Table 2-9:-Cargo Stand Requirement

Integrator full freighter aircraft – Code E (B777F / A330F) – 10% share 1
4.2 Proposed the air cargo facility expansion plans: The existing cargo terminal (approx. 14,500 m2) is to be retained and further expanded in order to cater for sufficient capacity in the next 3 years as per the requirement listed above. New terminals & associated facilities as per the forecast will be developed by expanding toward east, west & north of the existing terminal.
Figure 2-28: Cargo 5 LTPA Expansion Plan 2.4.8.2 Fuel Farm GHIAL has constructed an Aviation Fuel Farm and Hydrant Fuelling System with State of the Art Facilities including modern automated systems. The Fuel Farm operations are SCADA controlled, pump motors are provided with Variable Frequency Drives for energy conservation and real time stock control by RADAR gauges. At present, Fuel Farm is having 3 fuel tanks, each of capacity 4500 KL, with a total capacity of 13500 KL. On an average, the current average daily fuel off-take is 1557 KL/day, catering to a mix of 209 wide bodied and narrow bodied aircrafts. The Fuel stock available cover allows for an average of 8.5 days off take. The fuel off-take capacity required at airports as per good industrial practice is 8 day. Based on this standard, the current capacity is fast reaching its saturation and calls for addition of additional tanks The existing facility can cater to the demand of fuel up to a daily off take of 1687 KL/day under the present mode of replenishment taking 8 day holding capacity. The fuel off-take ex-Hyderabad is totally dependent on the number of departures from RGIA. Based on the traffic projections as per the traffic study, the total departures would be around 295/day by FY2020-21 and 788/day in FY2029-30.
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 36 of 101
Apart from this the growth in fuel offtake is directly co-related with the taxes levied on ATF in a particular state. We have seen a significant growth in the fuel offtake in last few months on account of reduction in VAT to 1% by the State Government. On account of this it is expected that there might be a higher increase in fuel offtake in near future, but in future possible introduction of GST might normalize the tax across all states. Assuming the same ratio for WB and NB operations the fuel demand per day would be approximately 3028 KL in FY2020-21 & 5627 KL in FY2023-24. Therefore, to cover 8 days off take, the approximate stock holding required is 24224 KL (3028 KL X 8 days) in FY2020-21 and 45016 KL (5627KL X 8 days) in FY2029-30, in the tanks.

Current Fuel Farm capacity is just sufficient to meet the current demand taking minimum 8 days of secured off take capacity. But as per the forecast, we plan to construct 5 tanks of 6200kl in phases as part of the expansion to match the demand.

Figure 2-29: fuel Farm 50MPPA expansion Plan 2.4.8.3 Airport Main Access Road
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 37 of 101
RGIA has an unique network of roadways. Entrances and exits from/to NH-9 & NH-765 at RGIA currently operate at near-freeway conditions, while elevated kerb side roadways at front of Passenger terminal operate at much slower speeds, as drivers attempt to manoeuvre into and out of kerbside spaces. Double and triple parking and jaywalking frequently occur on kerbside roadways despite the visible presence of traffic enforcement officers. Standard highway capacity analysis can address the aspects relating to the main access road (MAR), but not the full spectrum of operating conditions that exist on airport terminal area and kerbside roadways. At RGIA, Airport Main Access roadways (MAR) also provide access to and from the multiple land uses within the 5500ac extend of available airport land. As for the Airport specific need MAR serve vehicles transporting airline passengers and visitors (“visitors” refers to meeters, greeters, and well-wishers accompanying or greeting airline passengers), employees of the airlines and other airport tenants, air cargo and mail, as well as vehicles used for the delivery of goods and services, maintenance, to support airport operations or construction, and other purposes. As relating to same MAR service multitude of vehicle types which include private vehicles, rental cars, on-demand and preserved taxicabs, prearranged and on-demand limousines or Town Cars, door-to-door vans, hired vehicles, charter buses, scheduled buses, and service and delivery vehicles. Each vehicle/user type has its own special characteristics and affects airport roadway operations differently. Although the airport passenger terminal building and surrounding area (the terminal area) is the most prominent location on an airport, but taking cognisant of the size, type, and distribution of airport land uses being planned at RGIA, less than half of all traffic on an airport may be associated with passengers and visitors proceeding to/from the terminal area; the remaining traffic is generated by non-airline passenger activities, including employees. Considering the airport growing size & the variety of land uses being proposed at RGIA, requires a neat network of roadways to provide for seamless inbound and outbound traffic, and the internal circulation of traffic between land uses. The current roadway network at RGIA broadly consists of following types of roadways depicted on Map below. Figure 2-30: RGIA Existing Road Network Map
2.4.8.4 Airport Main Access Roadways Capacity Outlook MAR provide for the free flow of traffic between the NH-7, NH765 and the passenger terminal building and other major public facilities, and is designed with limited number of decision points (i.e., entrances or exits or Junctions). Currently MAR is a 4 lane dedicated access road from NH-7coming from the west & from Srisailam Highway (NH-765) coming from the east with an interphase of 4 rotary junction which regulate the cross movement across the same, on to
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 38 of 101
airport & associated existing facilities. The capacity has been derived based on standards defining the Urban Roads capacity as per the Indian Highways standards. It should be noted that MAR access caters to both Airport & Non-airport Traffic like that of SEZ, hotel, other commercial establishment etc. Table 2-12:- Road capacity out look

It should be observed that at RGIA current peak vehicular traffic has exceeded 90% of the designed road capacity that necessitate immediate expansion of road & associated infrastructure. Rotary junctions at RGIA ensure seamless traffic flow from & to the Passenger Terminal & other facilities. Of the existing 4 rotaries, two are more critical as it serves the PTB and are experiencing traffic snarls at time namely departure rotary & arrival Rotary. A rapid assessment was carried out which display that the capacity of about 3000PCU/hr. Table 2-14:RGIA Rotary capacity outlook

Traffic Split by Entrance Of the total airport road traffic the arriving / departing traffic are split across two main entrances, one being the on the East from NH-765 and other being from the west from NH-7. The broad split traffic across two entrances (excluding two wheelers) are as listed below
West entrance: 70%
East entrance: 30% Figure 2-31: RGIA Main Road Access Map
Forecasted the road traffic based on the available projected airport traffic along with the consideration for the traffic generated by other Non-airport activities, it should be observed
Traffic will touch in excess of 3800 PCU/Hr/Flow Direction from west & 1500 PCU/Hr/Flow Direction from east as the Airport approaches 34MPPA traffic
With the Non-airport development picking up at airport will see the overall peak in single directional demand exceeding would 5000 PCU/Hr/Flow Direction mainly from western.
The metro project materialising in next 3-4 years, might cater to about 20% of the traffic demand and the effective road peak traffic will be always in excess of 4000PCU/Hr/ Flow direction from west as we approach 34MPPA airport Capacity. This will necessitate 8 Lane MAR from NH-7 to at least Departure Junction with a provision of elevated ramp for provision of seamless access to the terminal. Along with other sector road to segregate non airport traffic form airport traffic.

The proposal is to expand the 4 lane MAR 5km stretch from west of existing to 8 lane approach road up to departure junction with a new elevated two lane approach road with trumpet interchanges connecting the PTB. Along with the improvement proposed for airport approach, it is also proposed to develop the sector road & new link road to Mansanpalli & P-10 road to Divert & segregate non-airport traffic out of MAR. 2.4.8.5 Requirement of improvement to Airport Road network 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.

Figure 2-36: Airport New sector level Road development plan for 50MPPA 2.4.9 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 40MPPA. 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 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 analysis also clearly indicates that constrained capacity of PTB and requirement for immediate interventions to augment the existing facilities to ensure passenger comfort. The terminal requires immediate improvement at PTB approach kerbside, check-in, security screening and the arrival baggage claim zone as these zones are experiencing high level of congestion.

17 Drainage & Rainwater Harvesting
Airside
The storm water at Airside of Airport is collected through a series of drain constructed parallel to runway, Taxiway & aprons. These constructed drains lead the storm water collected into a collection tank of 135,000 M3 Holding capacities. Storm water then flows into oil water separator (capacity – 10,000M3) for removal of oil & grease from Storm water collected. Storm water free from oil and grease will flow into retention tank of 35,000 M3 Capacity. A pumping station with 4 x 100Hp motors located in the western end of the Airport will pump the storm water from western end to eastern end of Airport through a dedicated pipe line of 600mm Diameter. Waster harvesting structures are constructed in an area of 40 acres where the storm water pumped is allowed to infiltrate. 50 numbers of bore well in 5 clusters has been constructed for the same.
The Support Infrastructure of RGIA provides the airport with the capability to support unconstrained aviation operations beyond typical Operating characteristics of Indian airports. The entire current asset base at RGIA Airside & Landside aviation facility has been developed & maintained to confirm to best of benchmark standards which enable the airport to provide with best of service conditions to passengers, its concessioners & service providers. 3.9 Details of Proposed Expansion Facilities at the Airport Terminal
In addition to the above mentioned existing facilities, to cater to growing traffic it is now proposed to expand the existing
terminal and Airside facilities along with associated facilities to enhance the passenger handling capacity form current
25MPPA to 50 MPPA. The cost of additional facilities at the existing airport terminal is estimated as Rs. 8500 Crores.

3.10 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 existing terminal, add new facilities and Airside infrastructure in
line with the Airport master plan.
3.11 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:
Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 61 of 101
Entire expansion work will be taken up in two phase taking into account minimization of the passenger inconvenience
and optimizing the capex
The Phase-1C expansion for 40MPPA work will commence immediately along side the 2025MPPA expansion by early 2020
and is expected to be completed by 2022.
On completion of proposed expansion works of Phase-1C the Passenger Terminal Building (T-1) would have a capacity to
handle around 40MPPA.
Phase 2A expansion for 50MPPA work will start around Fy2025 & expected to completed by FY2029
On completion of proposed Expansion work of Phase 2C, the airport will have the second runway & a new terminal (T-2)
with a handling capacity of 10MPPA
Expansion of Airside work to have two major components namely Expansion of existing Southern Airside expansion &
development of New Northern Airside

4.3 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%

4.6 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.

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.

4.13 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!
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Hyderabad has become the first airport in India to successfully initiate Pilot
implement of an end-to-end E-boarding process, as a pilot project, spanning 3-months duration starting from April 2015.
Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has selected RGIA to pilot this project. RGIA in collaboration with Jet Airways implemented
this process covering passengers flying on flights 9W 452 and 9W 2401. So far, more than 7000 passengers have used this
service from RGI Airport.
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.
The process of e-boarding is seamless and integrated with the passengers’ name list from the airline. This also makes it very
easy to check whether the passenger is actually at the airport or not. Timings of the entry to the airport and the other touch
points are recorded, which help RGIA to continuously enhance its operational efficiency. Since the entry through E-boarding
is time bound and guided as per regulations, the E-Boarding Reader machine does not allow the passengers inside the
terminal before the stipulated time, thus reducing congestion inside the airport.
With E-boarding, the Airline & Aadhaar Databases is integrated using scanning devices at various touch points. This greatly
enhances the security levels and at the same time reduces the passenger processing time. Now, a passenger need to only
have a mobile e-boarding card and his Aadhaar number to gain entry into the airport. A unique feature of this process is
ability to also use the boarding card issued by CUSS machine or Check-in counters also. Further, there is a flexibility to follow
the traditional process of showing a photo-id in case Aadhaar number is not available.
Taking cue from Hyderabad Airport’s successful implementation of the pilot project, Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi Airports
have also initiated E-boarding pilot using scanners and E-gates. Teams from Bangalore and Delhi Airport, recently, visited
Hyderabad Airport to witness E-boarding process and are known to have adopted several technical and process related
aspects in their E-boarding systems. All these initiatives are paving the way for a tech-savvy, paper-less future for Indian
aviation.

4.14 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.

4MVA building up the total demand for operation to 21MVA by Fy2021 which will being sourced from TSTRANSCO. With the
Completion of 40MPPA by Fy2023 & 50MPPA by FY 2029 the overall demand would touch around 32 MVA.
6.3 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.
6.4 Economic Impact of GMR Airports - Hyderabad
Hyderabad Airport is contributing significantly to the overall economic and social growth of the Region. Some of the highlight
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%.
(Source: Economic Impact Study of Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), National Council of Applied
Economic Research Report, September 2012)
6.5 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 4-5 years for each phases.
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. Along 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
5 to 6 thousand in commercial & support services.

Prefeasibility Report : RGIA Expansion
Page 87 of 101
9.0 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 18.3 mn in FY18. Further, in FY 18 the traffic has grown to 18.3 mn showing a 20% year on year
growth. Even in the first quarter of current financial year Fy2019, the traffic has grown by 23% on year on year
basis. This strong growth has led to congestion of most passenger processing points.
The current capacity with interim improvement providing stretched capacities can only meet requirement for
next 1-2 years; beyond this time the service levels is expected to deteriorate. 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 50MPPA from the current design
capacity of 25MPPA to meet projected traffic requirement upto FY2030. The required expansion must be
initiated immediately, in order to sustain the service levels.
