Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has proposed a reduction in user development fees (UDF) for departing domestic and international passengers starting September 2026, as part of a strategy to increase passenger traffic and support a ₹ 18,635 crore expansion plan. The UDF for domestic passengers would decrease from ₹ 550 to ₹ 450, while international charges would drop from ₹ 1,500 to ₹ 1,215. Additionally, the airport operator plans to lower airline landing charges by 25%, aiming to balance immediate fee reductions with future tariff adjustments necessary for capital recovery.
