The number of domestic air passengers in India is expected to surge to 300 million annually by 2030 from 153 million in 2023 and the country still would have a vast untapped market, Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Thursday. ​​He said the number of airports and waterdromes will increase to over 200 from the existing 149 in the country. With 300 million passengers a year in 2030, India's aviation penetration would be at 10-15 per cent and still be a potential market in the decades to come.
