Cabinet Approves Rs. 1,507 Crore Greenfield Airport Project at Kota-Bundi, Rajasthan to Boost Regional Connectivity.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Delhi:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a major step towards enhancing regional air connectivity and boosting infrastructure in Rajasthan, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)<\/strong>, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/strong>, has approved the development of a Greenfield Airport at Kota-Bundi<\/strong>. The project, to be developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI)<\/strong>, will be executed at an estimated cost of Rs. 1,507 crore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Kota: Educational and Industrial Powerhouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Situated along the Chambal River<\/strong>, Kota<\/strong> is widely recognised as the industrial capital of Rajasthan<\/strong> and has earned a national reputation as the “Educational Coaching Hub of India”<\/strong>. The planned Greenfield Airport is expected to cater to the growing needs of students, industry professionals, and business travellers, providing the city with much-needed air connectivity.<\/p>\n

\n

Project Details: Modern Infrastructure for Growing Demand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Rajasthan Government has transferred 440.06 hectares of land<\/strong> to the AAI for this development. Once completed, the new airport will be capable of accommodating A-321 type aircraft<\/strong> and handling 2 million passengers per annum (MPPA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Key features of the proposed Greenfield Airport include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Infrastructure Component<\/th>\nSpecifications<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Terminal Building<\/strong><\/td>\n20,000 sqm, 1,000 Peak Hour Passengers (PHP) capacity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Runway<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/29, 3200m x 45m, suitable for A-321 aircraft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Apron<\/strong><\/td>\n7 parking bays for A-321 aircraft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Taxiways<\/strong><\/td>\n2 Link Taxiways<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ATC and Technical Block<\/strong><\/td>\nIncluded<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fire Station, Car Park, Allied Works<\/strong><\/td>\nIncluded<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n

Limitations of the Existing Airport<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Currently, Kota has a small airport under AAI<\/strong>, which features a runway (08\/26) measuring 1220m x 38m<\/strong>, suitable only for Code \u2018B\u2019 aircraft<\/strong> like the DO-228. The terminal building spans just 400 sqm<\/strong>, handling only 50 peak hour passengers<\/strong>, and its limited capacity and surrounding urbanization make further expansion unviable<\/strong> for commercial operations.<\/p>\n

\n

Strategic Benefits of the Greenfield Airport<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Improved Connectivity<\/strong>: Enhanced air access for students, tourists, and industry stakeholders<\/li>\n
  • Economic Boost<\/strong>: Stimulates industrial growth, job creation, and regional development<\/li>\n
  • Decongestion<\/strong>: Helps reduce travel burden on nearby airports like Jaipur and Udaipur<\/li>\n
  • Capacity Readiness<\/strong>: Prepares the city to handle future air traffic growth efficiently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Government\u2019s Vision for Modern Air Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Greenfield Airport at Kota-Bundi aligns with the Government\u2019s broader vision under UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik)<\/strong> and PM Gati Shakti Master Plan<\/strong> to create world-class, accessible, and future-ready aviation infrastructure across India.<\/p>\n

    By enabling efficient passenger movement and improving air cargo capabilities, the airport is expected to become a catalyst for socio-economic transformation in southeastern Rajasthan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
