SC To Hear Kerala's Plea Against Thiruvananthapuram Airport Lease To Adani

The Supreme Court on March 8 will be hearing the Kerala government's plea against the Centre's Airport Authority of India leasing Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani Enterprises. The CM Pinarayi Vijayan-led government has argued that, besides violating proprietary rights, the AAI's decision was against public interest as the Adani group has no prior experience. The Centre, however, countered that the bidding process, which was won by Adani in 2019, was completely transparent and in public interest.
