Prefer Prefer Illustration of the Kota-Bundi airport (AAI) Rajasthan's government has set a completion target of 4 October 2027 for the Kota-Bundi greenfield airport. Chief Secretary V Srinivas recently reviewed construction progress and directed officials to ensure all works proceed simultaneously to meet the scheduled deadline, emphasising coordination between departments working on the runway, terminal and air traffic control tower. The foundation stone for the airport at Shambhupura was laid on 7 March 2026, and construction is taking place on 440 hectares of land.

The passenger terminal building will cover 20,000 square metres and have an annual handling capacity of two million passengers, featuring 14 check-in counters and nine self-check-in kiosks. Sustainability features prominently in the airport's design, with a one megawatt peak solar power plant planned to meet approximately 25 per cent of annual energy consumption. The facility will operate on a zero-discharge system, whilst a six-lane approach road will connect to the airport.

Parking facilities for 300 cars and 70 taxis will be provided, along with electric vehicle charging stations. The infrastructure includes a 3,200-metre runway suitable for A-321 type aircraft, with an apron featuring seven parking bays. Once operational, runway operations are expected to begin by October 2027, with commercial flights likely starting by December 2027.

The airport is being developed approximately 15 km from Kota and 20 km from Bundi, with the Airports Authority of India funding the project through internal resources. Arjun Brij is a Newsroom Associate at Swarajya. He tracks infrastructure and trade developments and posts on X at @arjun_brij.
