Hyderabad, Apr 18 (UNI) GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL) operated Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) on Friday announced that it has been awarded the Level 5 Accreditation under the globally recognized Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme by Airports Council International (ACI).

The accreditation reflects RGIA’s commitment to aligning with global climate goals, maintaining net zero CO₂e emissions for Scope 1 and 2, and striving towards net zero Scope 3 emissions by 2050 or earlier.
Speaking on this milestone accomplishment, SGK Kishore, ED & Chief Innovation Officer, GMR Airports and President - Airport Council International (ACI) Asia Pacific & Middle East ( ACI APAC & MID) said: “Hyderabad Airport will continue its sincere efforts for sustaining net zero emissions on Scope 1 & 2 emissions and collaborate with the airport stakeholders to achieve Net Zero Scope 3 emissions by 2050 in alignment with the UNFCCC Paris Agreement's (2015) temperature goal to combat climate change.”
Congratulating Hyderabad Airport on this achievement, Stefano Baronci, Director General, ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East, said:“Indian airports are leading the way in environmental sustainability. The achievements of Hyderabad International Airport further establish India’s pioneering role in decarbonisation. These successes result from a long-term vision and the dedicated efforts of their teams and industry partners. We hope these milestones inspire other airports in our region to embrace sustainability and implement initiatives for a more environmentally responsible aviation industry. ACI APAC & MID remains committed to supporting our members in developing their roadmaps to achieve net-zero targets.”
