CHAPTER-1

ABSTRACT

Several airports across the world that are owned by state and national government authorities are
increasingly being operated and managed by private developers under various public private
partnership models and the Indian story is no different. Over the last decade, the civil aviation sector in
India has grown exponentially and is currently positioned as the ninth largest market globally with an
expected growth that is likely to place it within the top five aviation markets in the world by the year
2020.

This paper provides a broad overview of the legislative and institutional framework governing
acquisition of land for infrastructure projects and airports in particular. We have primarily focused on
instances of the government acquiring private land for infrastructure projects, as this has been the
general trend in India. Having said that, if a project developer was to purchase private land for the
project they could face a number of issues such as ownership, title, number of sellers for the land, land
owners demand for higher prices due to proposed project activity and cost implications of resettlement
and rehabilitation of project affected families.
