NEW YORK and MUMBAI, India, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Apollo (NYSE:APO) today announced that Apollo-managed funds, affiliates and other long-term investors have completed a $750 million investment grade rated financing for the Mumbai International Airport Ltd. (MIAL), an Adani Portfolio company and subsidiary of Adani Airports Holdings Limited (AAHL), India's largest private airport operator, that operates Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), the second largest airport in India.

The 4-year senior secured notes will primarily refinance existing debt, enhancing MIAL's financial flexibility to support operations, modernization and sustainability initiatives. The structure also allows for up to $250 million in additional funding to accelerate capital expenditure and capacity expansion. The transaction represents one of the largest private investment grade rated deals in India's infrastructure sector.

"Working with the Adani Group, we are pleased to deliver a scaled, bespoke capital solution for MIAL, supporting a critical infrastructure asset and the next phase of its ambitious growth capex plans," said Apollo Partner Jamshid Ehsani. "This marks Apollo's second large financing for MIAL, having previously provided operational flexibility to deleverage and now delivering an investment grade rated solution."

Mr. Arun Bansal, CEO of AAHL, added, "This financing provides us with greater operational flexibility and positions us to further enhance the airport experience for millions of travelers. With Apollo's continued support and the Adani Group's proven execution capabilities, we are well-positioned to realize our vision of transforming MIAL into a world-class asset with a focus on efficiency, comfort and sustainability."

Matt Michelini, Partner and Head of Asia-Pacific at Apollo, commented, "As one of the fastest growing global economies, India is an attractive market for hybrid and credit financing, particularly opportunities underpinning critical, next-generation infrastructure. It is a key market for Apollo in Asia, and one where we believe we can serve as a long-term capital partner to leading companies and families."

CSMIA, a cornerstone of India's aviation infrastructure, is part of Adani Airport Holdings Limited's (AAHL) network of eight airports. AAHL is responsible for developing airport infrastructure assets across India and is a core growth vertical of the Adani group.

MIAL remains committed to sustainability, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals through initiatives such as transitioning to electric vehicles, enhancing energy-efficient operations, strengthening water conservation measures and accelerating efforts to achieve net zero emissions by 2029, reflecting its leadership in sustainable airport operations.

Allen & Overy LLP and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldass served as legal counsel to MIAL. Milbank LLP and Khaitan & Co served as legal counsel to Apollo.
