What’s the agreement? As per the news agency PTI, Adani Group is set to acquire a 74 per cent stake in Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) that operates India’s second-largest airport in Mumbai. As per the agreement, Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), the holding company of Adani Group for its airports business and a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) has signed the agreement to acquire the debt of GVK Airport Developers Ltd (GVK ADL). Basically GVK ADL is the holding company through which GVK Group holds 50.50% equity stake in Mumbai International Airport Limited (“MIAL"). It also means that GVK ADL also holds 74% equity stake in Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited. However, GVK had approached the court with an intention to block the attempts of sale citing they have a right to the first refusal. However, the company failed to accumulate funds. As per the agreement, Adani Airport will acquire the debt of GVK ADL from its airport lenders.
