India Launches 15 Airport Projects in Major Aviation Capacity Push
India is significantly expanding its aviation infrastructure, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating or laying the foundation for 15 airport projects. Valued at over $1.18 billion, the initiative includes 12 new terminal buildings at key airports like Pune, Delhi, and Lucknow. The expansion is a core part of the government's strategy to increase the country's airport count from 74 in 2014 to over 150. This major investment aims to enhance connectivity, particularly for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, and accommodate the nation's rapidly growing air traffic.
