Arre bhai, Noida International Airport ka launch abhi filhaal latak gaya hai kyunki Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) ne company ke foreign CEO, Christoph Schenellmann, ko security clearance dene se mana kar diya hai. Asal issue ek 2011 ke rule ka hai jisme kaha gaya hai ki naye airports ke liye CEO Indian hona chahiye. BCAS ka kehna hai ki CEO security coordinator ka bhi role nibhata hai aur uske paas national security protocols tak access hona chahiye, jo ek foreign national ko nahi mil sakta.
Ye problem 2022 se chal rahi thi aur abhi tak koi solution nahi nikla. Iski wajah se, jo airport pehle March 28, 2026 tak chalu hone wala tha, woh ab indefinitely delay ho gaya hai. Zurich Airport Group, jinki subsidiary Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) is project ko manage kar rahi hai, ne phase 1 mein lagbhag ₹7,200 Crore ka investment kiya hua hai. Ab revenue generate nahi ho raha par expenses toh chal hi rahe hain, jis se company par financial pressure badh raha hai. Zurich Airport Group ka market cap CHF 7.6 se CHF 8.3 billion ke aas paas hai aur P/E ratio 22.0 hai, jo European rivals jaise Fraport (P/E 12-16 range mein) se zyada hai. Ye Noida wala situation unki current valuation mein poora reflect nahi ho raha, aur investors iska risk zyada notice kar sakte hain.
Ek taraf, Navi Mumbai International Airport ne pehle hi ek Indian CEO appoint kar ke is rule ko follow kar liya tha aur delay se bach gaya. Zurich Group ka pehle bhi Chile mein ek project mein delays aur cost increase ka experience raha hai. Ye sab dekh kar lagta hai ki shayad unhone emerging markets mein risk assessment mein thoda gadbad kiya hai.
Current regulatory deadlock Zurich Airport Group ke expected returns ke liye ek bada threat hai. Investment se koi revenue nahi aa raha par kharcha ho raha hai. Aur ye issue 2022 se latka hua hai, jo dikhata hai ki ye sirf ek choti moti problem nahi, balki ek serious regulatory challenge hai.
Is sab ke beech, February 2026 mein S&P Global Ratings ne Zurich Airport Group ki rating ko 'AA-' tak badhaya tha, unke resilient operations aur Noida Airport ke lagbhag ready hone ki wajah se. Lekin ab ye roadblock unke future performance ko zaroor affect karega. Airport ka launch, jo pehle early 2025 aur phir April to May 2026 target tha, woh ab indefinitely delay ho gaya hai. Zurich Group ko ab jaldi se ek qualified Indian CEO appoint karna hoga aur BCAS aur Ministry of Home Affairs se clearance leni hogi tabhi operations start ho payenge aur investor's paisa kaam karna shuru karega.
