5.4 The Authority has analyzed the Operating Expenditure of the ISP, as provided in the Form F3 (P&L) of the MYTP, for the First Control Period and observes that the ISP has considered the following % increase in Revenues & OPEX on Y-o-Y basis, from the second tariff year onward, as indicated in the Table 7 below:

Table 7: Year-on-Year Percentage (%) increase in the Revenue and Operation & Maintenance Expenditure during the First Control Period FY FY FY FY Particulars 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 2027-28 Revenue from Regulated Services 15.9% 12.6% 13% 12.9% Payroll Costs 5% 5% 5% 5% Repair and Maintenance Costs 8.5% 8.5% 9.8% 9.5% Concession Fee/ Revenue Share -17% -20% -20% -10.7% payable to Airport Operator Utilities & Outsourcing Expenses 2% 2% 2% 2% Administrative & Other Expenses 1% 7.3% 7.7% 7.9%

5.5 The Authority’s examination of Y-o-Y % growth considered by the M/s IPPL for the projected OPEX from FY 2023-24 onward is given in the following sections: a) Payroll Cost: The Authority notes from the MYTP submission that the ISP has projected a Y-o-Y increase of 5% in Payroll costs during the First Control Period. Considering the impact of periodic increase in minimum wages & annual salary increments and related increase in statutory components like EPF etc., the Authority views the Y-o-Y increase projected Payroll expenses by the ISP for the First Control Period as reasonable.

b) Repairs and Maintenance Costs: The Authority observes that M/s IPPL has projected an increase in R&M expenses from second tariff year onward, ranging between 8.5% to 10%, during the First Control Period. The Authority observes that the ISP during the last two tariff years of the Control Period has considered slightly higher R&M Expenses, as compared to initial two years of the Control Period.

As per the Authority, it is imperative for the ground handling agencies to keep the ground handling equipment & allied facilities in proper working conditions, so as to provide safe & better services to users. The Authority in its analysis observes that the overall repair and maintenance costs, as a % of Opening RAB, is ranging between 2% to 3% in all the tariff years of the Control Period, as

tabulated hereunder: (₹ in Lakhs) FY FY FY FY FY Particulars 2027-28 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 Opening RAB 599.31 647.43 678.76 733.65 957.73 Repair and Maintenance

16.95 18.39 19.97 21.92 23.99 Costs % of Opening RAB 2.83% 2.84% 2.94% 2.99% 2.50% Consultation Paper No. 19/2023-24 Page 16 of 28Further, taking into account the impact of annual general inflation, including annual increase in labour component of Repair & Maintenance Costs, the Authority considers the projected R&M expenses for the First Control Period as reasonable.

c) Concession Fee/ Revenue Share payable to Airport Operator: The Authority notes from the clause 7.1.1 of concession agreement, executed between AAI and M/s IPPL, the Revenue Share payable by the ISP to the airport operator (AAI) is to be calculated as under:

i) 3% of the Actual Gross Revenue from the scheduled Domestic Passenger Flights. ii) 15% of the Actual Gross Revenue from users other than “scheduled Domestic Passenger Flights and RCS flights”. iii) 0% for RCS flight(s).

The Authority further observes from the clause 7.1.2 of above said agreement, that every year the ISP shall pay ‘Premium’, which is maximum of “Minimum Annual Guarantee” (MAG) and the ‘Revenue Share’, calculated as per the clause 7.1.1 of the concession agreement.

Considering the clause 7.1.2 of the concession agreement and clarification furnished by the ISP, the Authority proposes to consider the concession fee (premium) payable to the Airport Operator as projected by ISP, for the First Control Period. In the first year, Concessionaire will pay MAG quoted at the time of bid. From the second year onward, MAG for Concessionaire will be 80% of the previous year’s premium. As per the ISP, for the first and last tariff year, the premium (concession fee) has been considered based on the expected Revenue Share (which is expected to be more than 80% of previous year’s MAG). However, for remaining tariff years of the Control period, the MAG is expected to be higher than the ‘Revenue Share’ (calculated as per the clause no. 7.1.1 of the agreement); hence the ‘premium’ payable to the airport operator has been considered based on the MAG figures.

In view of the above, the Authority proposes to consider the concession fee (premium) payable to the airport operator as projected by ISP, for the First Control Period. d) Utilities and Outsourcing Expenses: The Authority notes that M/s IPPL proposed Y-o-Y increase of 2% in the Utilities and Outsourcing Expenses from FY 2024-25 onward. The Authority observes that Utility & Outsourcing Expenses consist of mainly Power Expenses.

Further, these expenses are directly linked with the number of flights to be handled by the service provider.

The Authority notes that Y-o-Y increase projected in Utility & Outsourcing Expenses is commensurate with the projected increase in the aircraft traffic and the number of Electricity/Power units consumed. Considering the above, the Utility and Outsourcing Expenses projected for the Control Period by the ISP is reasonable.

e) Administrative & Other Expenses: In respect of Administrative and Other Expenses, M/s IPPL proposed an increase of 1% during FY 2024-25 as compared to the projected figures of FY 2023-

24. From FY 2025-26 onward, the ISP has proposed a Y-o-Y increase of around 7% to 8% in Admin. & General Expenses.

The Authority notes that the Land/ Space Rent is a major component of the Admin. & Other Expenses (i.e., ₹ 265 lakhs approx.), which almost accounts for 69% of the total Admin. & Other Consultation Paper No. 19/2023-24 Page 17 of 28Expenses projected for the First Control Period. The Authority further observes from the ISP’s submission that Land/Space Rent will be escalated annually @ 7.5% p.a.

Apart from Land/ Space Rent, other major heads of expenses under the Admin. & General Expenses include expenses relating to transportation, travelling and cost of consumables.

In view of the projected increase in the aircraft traffic and considering the impact of general inflation & annual escalation @ 7.5% p.a. in Land/ Space Rent, the Y-o-Y increase of around 7% to 8% projected by the ISP in respect of Administrative and Other Expenses for the First Control Period is reasonable.

5.6 The Authority also notes that as per the profitability statement projected for the First Control Period (Table no. 6), M/s IPPL is expected to earn a profit of around Rs. 8.96 crores and maintain overall profit margin (Total PAT / Total Revenue) of around 14.3% for the First Control Period.

Authority’s Examination and Analysis:

6.4 The Authority observes that in the case of Scheduled Flights (Domestic and International), the ISP has proposed 5% Y-o-Y increase in Tariff Rates from FY 2024-25 onward (Table 9).

6.5 The Authority also notes that M/s IPPL has proposed a separate Tariff Rate card for Non-Scheduled Flights and similar to scheduled flights, the ISP has proposed an increase of 5% Y-o-Y basis from FY 2024-25 (second tariff year) onward (Table 10).

6.6 Considering the Aircraft Traffic projected by the ISP for the Control Period and projected increase in Operating Expenditure, due to factors like increase in number of manpower, annual increase in salary and wages, general inflation etc., the Authority is of the view that ISP requires minimum level of revenues to cover-up the Operating Costs and get reasonable return on its investments. In view of the above, the 5% increase in Tariff Rates proposed by the ISP on Y-o-Y basis from FY 2024-25 onward appears reasonable.

6.7 The Authority is of the view that the Tariff for Domestic ‘Non-Scheduled and General Aviation Flights’, should not be more than the Tariff of relevant Domestic Scheduled Flights for a similar class of Aircraft(s).

However, the Authority proposes to consider the separate Tariff Rate Card in case of International ‘Non- Scheduled & General Aviation Flights’ only, as per Annexure-II.

6.8 As regard to the fewer number of services covered under the Rate Card for the ‘Item-wise’ Charges for Ground Handling Services, the ISP clarified that they are expected to handle mainly Narrow body type of Aircraft at Pune International Airport, Pune and Itemised Rate Card has been proposed accordingly.

6.9 The Authority proposes that in case of payment in foreign currency, the RBI conversion rate as on the last day of the previous month will be applicable for the first fortnight and the rate as on 15th of the month will be applicable for the second fortnight.

6.10 Further, M/s IPPL should ensure compliance towards Standardization of Ground Handling Equipment at Pune International Airport in accordance with the directives issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, vide its letter no. AV-24011/10/2021-AAI-MOCA dated 27.10.2022.
