New Delhi, February 14 Changi Airport Group Chairman Lim Ming Yan said on Saturday that the group is closely monitoring opportunities for airport projects in India and emphasized the need for having local partners for a mutually beneficial situation.
The group operates Singapore's Changi Airport, one of Asia's most connected international aviation hubs, which provides connectivity to around 170 cities worldwide.
Noting that India is definitely a growth market, Lim Ming Yan said, "We are closely monitoring, and we are actually observing how we could potentially be involved in some of these airport projects... there are many ways in which you can get involved."
India is one of the world's fastest-growing civil aviation markets, and the government plans to offer more airports to private players under a public-private partnership model.
Changi Airport Group has investments in Durgapur Airport in West Bengal.
Lim Ming Yan said that the Durgapur airport is doing very well, and that the group has been able to add value to the airport despite its relatively small size.
According to Lim Ming Yan, the Changi Airport Group is good at managing airports and is happy to continue working with investors who are familiar with the local context, while the group can bring its technical expertise.
"To work with partners who can take care of some aspects of the business, and we bring some value that we are good at... that will be a mutually beneficial situation," he said while speaking at the ET Now Global Business Summit 2026.
He also said that civil aviation infrastructure in India has improved significantly in the last 20 years, and that improvements will continue.
