Despite muted growth in June and Q1, attributed to temporary disruptions such as changes in airspace conditions due to geopolitical events and the ongoing Runway 10/28 upgradation at Delhi Airport, GMR said traffic at Delhi remained resilient. The drop in Q1 FY26 traffic at Delhi was equivalent to just one day’s worth of passenger traffic.

Hyderabad Airport delivered its highest-ever passenger traffic and aircraft movements during the quarter. Meanwhile, Mopa Airport (GOX) in Goa crossed the 11 million passenger milestone since commencing domestic operations in January 2023 and international services in July 2023. Passenger traffic has consistently remained above 9.7 million per month since November 2024.

Shares of GMR Airports Ltd ended at ₹93.84, up by ₹1.87, or 2.03%, on the BSE.
