GMR Airports Limited has announced that it will acquire up to a 49% equity stake in TIM Goa Airport Advertising Private Limited (TGAAPL) for an aggregate consideration of up to ₹16.59 crore, marking its entry into the airport advertising business as part of its strategy to expand airport-adjacent revenue streams.
The company disclosed the development in a filing to the BSE and NSE under Regulation 30 and Regulation 51 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Investment Structure
Under the agreement, GMR Airports will subscribe to up to 49% of the issued and paid-up share capital of TGAAPL through a combination of:
- Equity investment
- Loan and/or
- Other instruments convertible into equity
The investment may be made in one or more tranches, with the total consideration not exceeding ₹16.59 crore.
About TGAAPL
TGAAPL was incorporated on May 20, 2025, and will primarily operate the advertisement business at Manohar International Airport (Mopa), Goa.
The company will acquire the airport advertising business through a novation process from its parent company, Times Innovative Media Limited (TIML).
Although FY2025-26 was TGAAPL’s first financial year and it has not yet generated operating revenue, the advertising business proposed to be transferred has demonstrated steady growth.
Revenue of the Advertisement Business (Recorded by TIML)
| Financial Year | Revenue |
|---|---|
| FY2025-26 | ₹30.15 crore |
| FY2024-25 | ₹23.70 crore |
| FY2023-24 | ₹14.33 crore |
The figures indicate consistent expansion in advertising revenue at Goa’s Mopa airport over the past three financial years.
Strategic Expansion into Airport Adjacencies
GMR Airports stated that the investment aligns with its long-term strategy of strengthening its presence in airport-adjacent businesses.
The company already has investments across several airport-related segments, including:
- Duty Free
- Cargo
- Car Parking
- Retail
- Other airport commercial businesses
The addition of airport advertising is expected to diversify GMR’s non-aeronautical revenue portfolio while leveraging its airport infrastructure ecosystem.
Regulatory Approvals
The transaction is expected to be completed after:
- Completion of the advertisement business novation,
- Receipt of security clearance from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), and
- Fulfilment of other conditions specified in the transaction agreements.
Not a Related-Party Transaction
