The Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati was handed over to the Adani Group for operations, management and development responsibilities.
In 2018, the government of India included the Guwahati airport in the group of six airports — Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangalore, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram — set for privatisation for operations, management and development (OMD) for a period of 50 years.
Adani Enterprise emerged as the successful bidder for all the six airports.
The concession agreement between the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Adani Enterprise was signed on 19 January 2021 in New Delhi.
