GMR to focus on emerging mkts for airport business
Aug 14 2011 , Mumbai
GMR Infrastructure, the flagship company of infrastructure conglomerate GMR Group, is currently developing four airport projects, including two in India -- Delhi and Hyderabad -- and one each in Male and Istanbul.
"We are looking at opportunities for expanding our airport business in the international market. We will be focusing on emerging markets, including South East Asia, South America and several African countries. We have not identified any particular project as of now," GMR Chief Financial Officer A Subbarao told PTI here.
The company is also looking at developed countries, including the USA, among others, for expanding its airports business, he said.
The BSE-listed company made its maiden international foray by winning the bid to develop the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (ISGIA) at Istanbul, followed by the Male airport project in the Maldives.
GMR, which reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 66.69 crore for the quarter ended June 30, mainly on account of lower revenues from the Delhi airport, high interest costs and increased tax outgo, has planned a capital expenditure of around Rs 15,000 crore over the next 12 months on executing existing projects.
