GMR AIRPORTS LIMITED (GMRAIRPORT) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch

GMR Airports operates Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa-Mopa and the newly commissioned Bhogapuram airports, and this quarter tests whether yield-led revenue growth can keep offsetting a traffic line running well below guidance. The print will speak to the Hyderabad CP-4 tariff flow-through and Bhogapuram's first full quarter of operations, set against West Asia-driven traffic declines at Hyderabad and Mopa.

GMR AIRPORTS LIMITED Q2 Results Date and Time

The board will meet on October 28, 2026, to consider the Q2 and H1 FY 2026-2027 financial results. The trading window has been closed from September 30, 2026, until 48 hours after the results are announced.

What to expect from GMR AIRPORTS LIMITED's Q2 FY27 results

The Q2 print tests whether yield-led revenue growth can keep offsetting a volume line running well below guidance — H1 FY27 traffic was a record 58,212,317 passengers but up just 0.5%, against the FY27 guidance of 5–7% growth. Hyderabad remains the soft spot, with traffic down 11.5% in August and 12.7% in September amid West Asian geopolitical disruption, and management itself calling it 'the soft part of our portfolio' with H1 margins guided softer and range-bound. Offsetting levers include the Hyderabad CP-4 tariff order effective September 1, 2026, non-aero IPP rising 8% QoQ to Rs. 691 per passenger, a guided depreciation step-down of about Rs. 35–38 crores per quarter, and NCBs refinanced at 9.56% versus 10.75%. Bhogapuram's first full quarter of operations after commercial operations began on August 17, 2026, and the timing of the AGM-approved Rs. 5,000 crore QIP/FCCB raise, will also feature on the call.
