Media Fusion LLC orchestrated a strategic media roundtable in Mumbai that brought together top leaders from aviation, infrastructure, and government. The dialogue, themed “Reimagining Airport Passenger Infrastructure through Innovation,” explored how India’s airport ecosystem can evolve to meet the demands of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Government authorities and industry experts underscored the growing need for green-certified airport terminals that balance aesthetics, function, and environmental responsibility. The emphasis was not only on building more terminals but building them right—incorporating solar energy, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and carbon-neutral construction practices. The narrative is gradually shifting from mere expansion to sustainable transformation.
During the discussion, officials and industry experts highlighted the urgent need for airport infrastructure to keep pace with India’s rapidly growing air passenger traffic, expected to reach one billion annually by 2047. The panel examined ways to embed smart technologies, sustainability measures, and design thinking into the development of terminals—focusing on passenger comfort, seamless mobility, and operational efficiency. The convergence of climate goals and infrastructure planning was a crucial pillar of the conversation. Experts stressed that India must leverage this moment to align aviation expansion with the country’s commitment to net-zero emissions. Terminal planning now involves mapping carbon footprints at each stage of the development process and building in mechanisms for continuous monitoring.
This event served as a crucial prelude to IPTS 2025, setting the stage for actionable conversations and policy alignment. Attendees underlined that to fulfil the ambitious goals of Viksit Bharat, India’s aviation infrastructure must not only expand but also transform—centred around innovation, accessibility, and climate-conscious planning. As stakeholders align on priorities, the IPTS platform is poised to shape the next chapter of India’s passenger terminal development.
