16:25 - 16:50 - Tariff determination (till mechanism for expanding airports)
Synopsis: Does the single till mechanism cater to the requirements of expanding airports? It is quite clear that companies that are in an expansion phase need adequate capital for investments. It is quite obvious that under the single till mechanism, the tariff does not provide funds for expansion. The till mechanism should not only ensure adequate funds for operations and maintenance, but should also cater to further investments for expansion activities.
