“The concession agreement for the airport was signed on October 7 and the plan for the project was to be submitted within subsequent 60 days. The plan was submitted on December 4 to the Civil Aviation Ministry for its comments. Once the ministry sends it back, it might be taken up by the NIAL Board for approval after which construction and development work would begin,” Singh said.

“The project, so far, is developing as per the schedule and the first flight from the airport is expected to take off in 2023. it might be either December 2023 or January 2024,” Singh further added.
