Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate 16 airport projects, marking a significant milestone in Bharat’s aviation sector. The inauguration ceremony will take place virtually from Azamgarh on March 10, showcasing the government’s commitment to widespread development and connectivity.
Uttar Pradesh is poised to receive a major boost with the inauguration of five new airports, highlighting the government’s dedication to promoting regional development. The list of inaugurated projects includes new terminal buildings and entirely new facilities in cities like Pune, Gwalior, Lucknow, Delhi (T1), Kolhapur, Jabalpur, Aligarh, Azamgarh, Chitrakoot, Moradabad, Shravasti, Adampur, Varanasi, and Belgavi.
Additionally, foundation stones will be laid for future airports in Hubbali and Kadapa, further enhancing connectivity in these regions. Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Union Civil Aviation Minister, is closely monitoring the progress of these development projects.
The prime minister is expected to physically attend the inauguration ceremony in one of the districts in Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining projects will be virtually inaugurated. Looking ahead, two major projects, Noida Airport and Navi Mumbai Airport, are anticipated to be ready for public use by the end of 2024.
The collective investment in these 16 airports amounts to over Rs. 12,000 crores, reflecting the government’s commitment to modernizing and expanding Bharat’s aviation infrastructure. Among the inaugurated projects, Gwalior stands out as it will host one of Madhya Pradesh’s largest terminals.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Aviation Minister Scindia will be present in Gwalior, where around Rs. 500 crores have been invested in the airport. These developments signify a significant step towards enhancing air connectivity and fostering economic growth across various regions in Bharat.
