Nice! But 100% dividend payout seems a bit aggressive. Shouldn't they reinvest at least a portion for airport expansion or tech upgrades? The cargo terminal 2 is a good step, but need more long-term thinking.
Hyderabad airport is really stepping up as a cargo hub. The new terminal with 50,000 metric tonnes capacity is perfect for pharma exports from the city. Proud moment for Telangana! 🚀
₹12.28 crore interim dividend is decent, but I hope the state government has proper oversight on how these PSU dividends are utilized. Transparency is key. The cargo terminal expansion sounds promising though.
Good news for Hyderabad's economy! The pharma and logistics sectors will benefit massively from this cargo terminal. Kadhir Kadhiravan's vision for making Hyderabad a leading air cargo gateway in Asia is spot-on.
It's impressive that GHIAL has paid nearly ₹150 crore in dividends to the state government since starting operations. This shows the airport is not just a public service but a revenue generator too. Keep up the good work!
Dividends are fine, but what about passenger experience and connectivity? The airport still needs better metro connectivity
