Centre approves ₹1,500 crore Kota-Bundi airport, ₹8,000 crore six-lane roads in Odisha
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday approved multiple infrastructure projects, including a new airport in Rajasthan's Kota and a six-lane road in Odisha. The proposal of Airports Authority of India (AAI) for development of Green Field Airport at Kota-Bundi in Rajasthan was approved by the Cabinet — a major gain for the industrial capital of the state, which also sees a large influx of students every year who come to study for competitive exams. The Kota-Bundi Airport will be constructed at a cost of ₹ 1,507 crore, the government said in a press release. The investment will be funded by the AAI through internal accruals, it said. The Rajasthan government has already transferred 440.06 hectares of land to AAI for the construction of the Kota airport. The project includes construction of a Terminal Building spanning an area of 20,000 sq metres. It will be capable of handling 1000 Peak Hour Passengers (PHP) with annual capacity of 2 Million Passengers Per Annum (MPPA). The Kota-Bundi airport will also feature runway 11/29 of dimensions 3200m x 45m, Apron with 07 parking bays for A-321 type aircraft, two Link Taxiways, ATC cum Technical Block, Fire Station, car park and allied works. The construction of the Kota airport is being done keeping in mind the anticipated traffic growth in the region given the educational significance of the region, the Centre said. The existing Kota Airport is under the ownership of Airports Authority of India (AAI). It comprises a runway (08/26) of dimensions 1220 m x 38 m, suitable for Code 'B' aircraft (such as DO-228), and an apron capable of accommodating two such aircraft. The terminal building spans an area of 400 sqm and is capable of handling 50 passengers during peak hours. The Cabinet Committee also gave green signal to the construction of 6-Lane Access-Controlled Capital Region Ring Road. This road, known as the Bhubaneswar Bypass, will span across a length of 110.875 kilometres and will be constructed at a cost of ₹ 8307.74 crore. The road aims to reduce pressure on the traffic congestion on the Rameshwar to Tangi stretch of the national highway, which passes through highly urbanised cities including Khordha, Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. The project will provide significant benefit to Odisha and other eastern States by diverting heavy commercial traffic away from Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and Khordha Cities. This will enhance the efficiency of freight movement, reducing logistics cost and driving socio-economic growth in the region.

Cabinet Approves Rs 1,507 Crore Proposal For Building New Airport In Rajasthans Kota
New Delhi: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday approved the proposal of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the development of a greenfield airport at Kota-Bundi in Rajasthan at an estimated cost of Rs 1,507 crore. The Rajasthan government has transferred 440.06 hectares of land to AAI for the development of a greenfield airport, suitable for the operation of A-321 type aircraft. The project includes the construction of a terminal building spanning an area of 20,000 sqm capable of handling 1,000 peak hour passengers (PHP) with an annual capacity of 2 million passengers.

In addition, it is renowned as the educational coaching hub of India for students aspiring to join the IITs, engineering institutes and medical colleges across the country. Kota's prominence in educational and industrial sectors makes the greenfield airport a critical infrastructure project, aimed at addressing the anticipated traffic growth in the region, the statement said. The existing Kota Airport is under the ownership of the Airports Authority of India (AAI). It comprises a runway (08/26) of dimensions 1,220m x 38m, suitable for Code 'B' aircraft (such as DO-228), and an apron capable of accommodating two such aircraft. The terminal building spans an area of 400 sqm and is capable of handling 50 passengers during peak hours. The existing airport cannot be developed for commercial operations due to inadequate land availability and urbanisation around the airport. Consequently, a new airport project is being taken up, the statement said.

Putting Kota on aviation map: Cabinet approves Rs 1,507-crore greenfield airport at Rajasthan's Kota-Bundi; to be ready in 2 years
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Tuesday approved the development of a greenfield airport at Kota-Bundi in Rajasthan at an estimated project cost of Rs 1,507 crore. The proposed airport, which is expected to be completed in around two years and will have the capacity to handle up to 2 million passengers annually, will primarily serve Kota—Rajasthan's prominent educational and industrial city. Kota currently has a small airport, which can handle very small aircraft and only a handful of passengers, rendering it unusable for regular commercial operations by airlines. The nearest major airport to Kota currently is the Jaipur airport, located at a distance of about 250 km. 'The existing (Kota) airport cannot be developed for commercial operations due to inadequate land availability and urbanization around the airport,' the government said in a release after Tuesday's CCEA meeting. The new Kota-Bundi airport will be a bit outside Kota, and will be developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on a large land parcel provided free of cost by the Rajasthan government. The project will be funded through the internal accruals of the AAI. 'The Government of Rajasthan has transferred 440.06 hectares of land to AAI for development of a Greenfield Airport, suitable for operation of (Airbus) A-321 type aircraft. The project includes construction of a Terminal Building spanning an area of 20,000 sqm capable of handling 1,000 Peak Hour Passengers (PHP) with annual capacity of 2 Million Passengers Per Annum (MPPA), Runway 11/29 of dimensions 3200m x 45m, Apron with 07 parking bays for A-321 type aircraft, two Link Taxiways, ATC (air traffic control) cum Technical Block, Fire Station, car park and allied works,' the government said. With the capability to handle operations of A321-sized jets, the airport will be ready for domestic flights of all durations, and even short-haul international flights. Kota's prominence in educational and industrial sectors makes the greenfield airport a critical infrastructure project, aimed at addressing the anticipated traffic growth in the region, the government said. Kota falls on the key road route linking Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi, and its growth as a major educational and industrial hub is being seen as an indicator of demand for air connectivity with regular commercial flight operations. The government, which has been making efforts to increase penetration of air travel in underserved or under-served areas, expects the new Kota airport to improve regional air connectivity and promote the local economy. Amid the government's push for regional air connectivity, the number of airports in India have more than doubled to 162 from 74 over the past 11 years. The country is already the world's third-largest domestic aviation market, and also the fastest-growing major aviation market, with the number of flyers increasing 41.2 crore this year from 16.8 crore in 2014.
