The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) has reduced the user development fee (UDF) for departing domestic and international passengers at Hyderabad Airport, effective September 1. Under the tariff order for the period 2026-2031, the UDF for domestic passengers has been set at ₹515, down from the proposed ₹580 and the existing ₹750.
Similarly, the UDF for international passengers has been reduced to ₹1,030, from the proposed ₹1,150 and the existing ₹1,500. The reduction is based on the incremental Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) framework, which links cost recovery through airport charges with the actual completion of high-value capex projects planned for the latter half of the five-year tariff cycle.
The new rates are lower than the airport operator's proposals and existing fees, and aim to support traffic development and route expansion while maintaining cost-reflective, transparent, and non-discriminatory aeronautical tariffs, as per ICAO principles.
