only at the time oftaking it out ofRAE and would not monitor any fluctuations in<br />

its value thereafter.,,2<br />

According to this order these principles would apply to GMR Hyderabad International<br />

Airport Limited (HIAL).<br />

In this context, HIAL has asked us to carry out an analysis of land treatment,<br />

providing examples of regulation in other jurisdictions. Our analysis will present<br />

international evidence and will draw some conclusions.<br />

Airport land can be used for both aeronautical activities and non aeronautical<br />

activities. The international evidence on land used for non aeronautical activities<br />

varies across jurisdiction as a single rule does not apply.<br />

The use of land for non aeronautical activities comprises a variety of conunercial<br />

activities like retail shops , car parking and real estate development. The real estate<br />

development is defined as the development and management of different kind of<br />

airport areas, for example hotels, conference centers and shopping malls.<br />

In case where a dual till regulation applies, non-aeronautical activities are excluded<br />

from regulation. In case where a single till regulation applies, in many instances, the<br />

regulation allows some non aeronautical activities to be excluded from the regulatory<br />

till. In case where a hybrid till regulation applies, only some non-aeronautical<br />

activities are included in the regulatory till and only part of their profits is included in<br />

the till.<br />

Another issue related to the treatment of land concerns the treatment of surplus airport<br />

land, i.e. land in excess of what is needed for aeronautical use. This land, in some<br />

instances, can be sold and the airport operator can retain all revenues.<br />

This memorandum is structured as follows:<br />

• Section 2 provides an international benclunark on the inclusion of the land used<br />

for non aeronautical purposes on the perimeter of the regulatory till;<br />

• Section 3 describes how surplus airport land is treated in other jurisdictions;<br />

• Section 4 concludes.<br />
