c. Concession Agreement vis-a-vis Land usage<br />

The Concession Agreement signed with the Union of India through MoCA<br />

has clearly earmarked two distinct set of activities namely: Airport activities<br />

and Non Airport activities. Details of these activities have been laid down in<br />

Schedule 3 Part I and Part <strong>II</strong> respectively. The Non Airport activities include<br />

various Real Estate related ventures and the entire list of Non Airport<br />

Activities as per Part <strong>II</strong> of schedule 3.<br />

Further, as per Article 13.5.2 GOI has the option of not taking over the !'Jon<br />

Airport Activities at the end of concession period and this clearly<br />

substantiates that the Airport Activities and Non-Airport Activities are two<br />

stand alone activities and that HIAL has the right to use the land for the said<br />

two activities distinctively.<br />

This clearly goes on to show that the Concession Agreement contemplated a Dual Till. If<br />

a single till was envisaged, the GOI would have opted to take over the Airport and Non<br />

Airport activities (which includes Real Estate).<br />

Consequent to the provisions of the <strong>AERA</strong> Act, the authority given to <strong>AERA</strong> is to<br />

determine the charges for aeronautical services at the Airports only . By virtue of<br />

the definition of 'Airport', the jurisdiction. of <strong>AERA</strong> is confined only to the area<br />

for landing and taking off of aircraft. The proposal of ring fencing and reducing<br />

value of land, etc. are not envisaged in the <strong>AERA</strong> Act.<br />
