Airport on 5000 acres in Amaravati

Amaravati to Get New Airport on 5,000 Acres: Major Boost for Andhra Pradesh’s Infrastructure

The Andhra Pradesh government has greenlit the development of a major greenfield airport in Amaravati, spanning a massive 5,000 acres. This project, strategically planned to support the capital region’s long-term growth, is set to be one of the largest airports in South India. The proposed site near Mangalagiri is expected to ease air traffic congestion in the region and position Amaravati as a significant hub for domestic and international connectivity. Officials state that land acquisition and feasibility studies are already underway, with the goal of attracting both private and central funding under the PPP model.

The airport is part of a larger vision to transform Amaravati into a global city, and it aligns with the state’s renewed focus on capital development following the change in government. Once completed, the airport is anticipated to generate thousands of jobs, boost tourism, and attract major industries, particularly in IT, pharma, and logistics. Connectivity via national highways and the upcoming high-speed rail corridor will further enhance accessibility. The project has sparked optimism across the region, with expectations that it will significantly accelerate Amaravati’s economic and infrastructural resurgence.
