On Friday, August 16, the Union Cabinet approved the establishment of two airport projects in West Bengal and Bihar. These are as follows:
New civil enclave in West Bengal:
The Cabinet Committee approved the Airports Authority of India’s proposal to develop a new civil enclave at Bagdogra Airport, Siliguri, West Bengal. The new civil enclave will cost an estimated INR 1,549 Crore. The project includes constructing an apron with 10 parking bays for A-321 type aircraft, two link taxiways, and multi-level car parking. Moreover, the terminal building will be a Green Building, integrating renewable energy and maximizing natural lighting to minimize its ecological footprint.
Additionally, the project will span approximately 70,390 SqM, designed to accommodate 3,000 peak hour passengers (PHP). It will also have the capacity to handle around 10 Million passengers annually.
