Accounting change that lowered depreciation

The company disclosed an accounting change effective April 1, 2025. Under the revision, the useful life of airport buildings was changed from 30 years to 50 years. For Q1 FY27, this revision reduced depreciation expense by ₹150.97 crore for the quarter. The disclosure linked the change to a lift in reported profitability, given the lower depreciation charge.

Operating performance: EBITDA growth and margins

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the company was reported to have higher operating earnings alongside revenue growth. EBITDA increased 24% to ₹1,447 crore from ₹1,165 crore a year earlier, as per the same summary. EBITDA margin edged up to 36.5% from 36.3%. The numbers point to stable margins even as revenue and EBITDA moved higher on a year-on-year basis.

Board clears fundraising plan up to ₹5,000 crore

GMR Airports’ board approved an enabling resolution to raise up to ₹5,000 crore in one or more tranches. The fundraising can be done through various securities, including fully paid-up equity shares, non-convertible debentures with warrants, convertible securities, and foreign currency convertible bonds. The plan is subject to shareholder and other regulatory approvals. The company described the approved fund-raising plan as part of its financial restructuring steps.

₹1,500 crore non-convertible bonds for refinancing

Separately, the board approved an enabling resolution to issue up to ₹1,500 crore of rupee-denominated non-convertible bonds through private placement. The stated purpose is refinancing existing non-convertible bonds. The company framed the fund-raising and debt refinancing approvals as important steps in its restructuring, and said it will proceed to seek the necessary approvals for the ₹5,000 crore issuance.

Other corporate move: Goa airport advertising acquisition

In addition to the fundraising agenda, the company was reported to be acquiring up to a 49% stake in Manohar International Airport’s advertising business. The transaction size was stated at up to ₹16.59 crore for an up to 49% equity and debt-linked stake in TIM Goa Airport Advertising Private Limited. This was presented as a move into airport advertising alongside the company’s broader airport portfolio operations.

Key figures and board decisions (all ₹ in crore unless stated)

Why the developments matter for investors

The quarter combined operating growth, an accounting-led reduction in depreciation, and board-approved financing flexibility. For equity investors, the ₹5,000 crore enabling resolution outlines potential capital-raising routes, but it remains subject to approvals and specific issuance terms. For debt investors and credit watchers, the ₹1,500 crore non-convertible bond plan is explicitly tied to refinancing existing bonds, indicating focus on liabilities and funding structure. With the company also reporting a small year-on-year change in portfolio passenger traffic, investors are likely to track how financial restructuring aligns with airport-level performance and cash flows disclosed in subsequent filings.

Conclusion

GMR Airports reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹3,963.99 crore and consolidated PAT of ₹147.96 crore, alongside a depreciation reduction of ₹150.97 crore linked to a change in useful life assumptions. The board has cleared enabling resolutions for fundraising up to ₹5,000 crore and issuing up to ₹1,500 crore of non-convertible bonds for refinancing. The next milestones are shareholder and regulatory approvals and subsequent disclosures on the structure, timing, and pricing of any issuance.
