TDI INTERNATIONAL INDIA LTD. vs AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA . — C.A. No. 960/2006

Case Summary: TDI International India Ltd. v. Airports Authority of India Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal, upholding the High Court's decision that AAI's decision to re-invite tenders was justified due to airport privatization. The Court ruled that fresh tenders must now be invited by the successful private bidders (MIAL for Mumbai, DIAL for Delhi) rather than AAI, as the airports have been privatized. Key Directions: TDI must continue operations at Mumbai airport until December 31, 2006, then handover to MIAL on January 1, 2007. For other non-Delhi airports, AAI will invite fresh bids by February 28, 2007, with TDI handing over by March 1, 2007. For Delhi airport, DIAL decides whether to continue with TDI. The Court declined to address escalated price claims for 2004-2006, leaving that to parties' settlement. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
