Concession clause need to be questioned in Competition Commission. Bangalore is growing and capacity cannot be fixed arbitrarily. Other big cities have many airports. If this clause is for other reasons like traffic control, will it change after 25 years. But I dont think HAL airport need to be reopened. It needs to be completely closed down and given for real estate development.
UDF Charges calculation by AERA authority & expected by 1st Oct

Ref Page No : 199 Table 128 and Page 203 table 130 give how much AERA is planning to pass the order.
BIAL Managment proposed Tariff on Page : 196 Table : 126
Page 291 : BIAL Promotors have No further equity infusion will be possible into the Airport for Expansion
Capital amount needed was Rs 649 Crores and same BIAL managment has spent Rs 1100 crore to acquire Rs 110 Crore stake in this project
http://aera.gov.in/writereaddata/consultation/333.pdf
Also GOK and GOI r able to spend capital in METRO to the tune of Rs 40,000 Crore by means of own funds and Loans, but these not even 10% of the METRO project cost, GOI & GOK not ready invest.
BIAL Managment agreeing for Hybrid Till Model for UDF charges with 30% cross subsidization after AERA has taken tough stand and decision is expected after 19th Sept which last date for filling objection.
Also GOK is keeping quite on this matter means, its agreeing to BIAL promotors decision even though it has 13% stake and given capital Rs 350 Crore without interest for 10 Years.

HAL Airport can be re-opened after 20 Years

As per Concession clause mentioned above, its 25 years other Airports are not allowed except Mysore and Hassan as Domestic within 150 Kms Aerial Dist.
GOI and GOK should make plans to re-open HAL airport by 2033 which is leagally allowed..

It (HAL airport) needs to be completely closed down and given for real estate development.
Seriously??? But, don't we have enough of real estate development happening already?

Enough with real estate & airports, everybody & his uncle wants an airport in his backyard, latest being the request for an airport in EC. FIrst put concrete roads in all of bangalore that will last 30 years at least, make pedestrians & cyclists travel safer, provision commuter rail then take up all this nonsense of additional airports
Just dont let companies set stupid clauses when no one is watching. It is not acceptable that BIA has access to so much land but are unwilling to consider non airport related revenues for UDF fixation. In which case they should not be allowed to HAVE any non air travel revenues at all.
