Citi Research has initiated coverage on GMR Airports with a 'buy' rating, setting a target price of Rs 90 based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation.
GMR Airports is well-positioned to benefit from India's projected passenger volume growth, expected at a compound annual growth rate of 8% over FY24-27.
The company's strategic assets, including the Delhi airport, give it an advantage over capacity-constrained airports like Mumbai.
Citi expects GMR Airports to turn profitable by fiscal 2026, driven by traffic growth, tariff increases, and non-aero spending.
