The Centre has allocated almost $275 million to support airport infrastructure projects, which
prominently include the development of new airports, the addition of passenger terminals, the
improvement of runways, the construction of taxiways, and the development of new ATC towers.
This is in line with the recent launch of UDAN 5.0, a regional connectivity programme that would
improve air access to non-metro airports by changing regulations.
Before the middle of 2024, more than 70 projects totaling 180 million dollars are expected to be
finished. The projects include creating a greenfield airport at Hirasar (Rajkot), extending terminal
buildings in Surat and Goa, expanding the civil enclave at the airport in Gwalior, and erecting an ATC
tower in Kolkata, among others.
According to a study by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), development on a greenfield airport in
Dholera, Ahmedabad is now underway and is anticipated to be finished by December 2025.
Modernization of the Chennai airport (Part-2 of Phase-II) would be finished by July 2025. According
to the report, the government finished 33 projects worth a total of 28,070 million in 2022.
At least 16 more projects, totaling $64,050 million in investment, are in the planning stages. These
include the development of new integrated terminal buildings in Srinagar and Udaipur, a new
domestic terminal in Bhubaneswar, an extension of the terminal building in Rajamundry, a
greenfield airport in Kota, among other projects.
180 (underserved and unserved) airports have been designated under the UDAN scheme for flight
operations by FY24, comprising 25 water-aerodromes and 40 helipads/heliports.
