Nagpur’s Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport is poised for a significant transformation following the Union Cabinet's approval to extend the lease of Airports Authority of India (AAI) land to MIHAN India Limited (MIL). This extension allows MIL to transfer the airport management to GMR Nagpur International Airport Limited (GNIAL) under a 30-year concession agreement. The development is a critical component of the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) project, which aims to establish Nagpur as a major aviation center for both passengers and cargo. With the capacity to handle up to 30 million passengers annually, the redevelopment is expected to attract substantial investment and modernize airport infrastructure. This transformation is anticipated to enhance regional connectivity across Vidarbha and Central India, contributing to broader economic growth. The project has its origins in 2009, with several delays impacting its progress, but recent legal resolutions have paved the way for its advancement.
