Officials said experts from the Airport Authority of India (AAI) would visit Indore to share technical inputs regarding the proposed airport with local authorities.

The development of this mega industrial region and an international airport has received in-principle approval from Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the Minister of Aviation, Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Officials said that the proposal for the mega project was presented before the CM, and after receiving approval, the plan was presented to Scindia.

Executive director MPIDC, Rohan Saxena, said that the department has started to look for land parcels between Sonkatch and Astha for the proposed investment region. Initial works have already begun, and the department is in the process to hire consultants and experts from the aviation sector.
