The Rs 200 billion investment underscores AAI's commitment to advancing infrastructure projects that contribute to improved connectivity and regional growth.

The investment is expected to cover various aspects of airport development, including necessary infrastructure, facilities, and technology to ensure a seamless and efficient operational setup.
