Transportation sector activity reflects a mixed landscape of operational adjustments and regulatory developments. GMR Airports, while reporting overall passenger traffic growth of 0.4% year-over-year, highlighted uneven performance across its portfolio, with declines in Hyderabad and Mopa attributed to geopolitical instability and maintenance issues. Concurrently, Highway Infrastructure secured an ₹80.17 crore contract for fee plaza operations, while Transworld Shipping finalized the sale of a vessel, demonstrating continued transactional activity.
