What Hype is tracking

  • The airport adds 12 million annual passenger capacity in Phase I and was built with an investment of ~INR 11,200 crore; commercial operations are due within 45–60 days, a material change for airline network and slot planning.

  • A cargo terminal starts with 250,000 tonnes/year capacity (plans to scale to 1.8m tpa) and a 40-hectare MRO site has been initiated, strengthening logistics and maintenance infrastructure for North India.

  • The inauguration resolves a programme repeatedly pushed back during development, improving schedule certainty for carriers, handlers and regional planners (see earlier delay reporting: source:1df9befa-5e88-4704-b3ac-a954a88e9c9a).
