The expansion of Bhopal's Raja Bhoj Airport is scheduled to be completed by 2047, with the project divided into three distinct phases. This ambitious plan aims to enhance the airport?s infrastructure to accommodate increased passenger traffic and modernise facilities.

The first phase will focus on upgrading existing terminals and runways to handle current traffic more efficiently. The second phase will see the construction of additional terminals and expansion of cargo facilities, catering to future growth and enhancing logistical capabilities. The final phase will involve integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices to ensure the airport meets future demands and environmental standards.

The phased approach is designed to minimise disruption while progressively improving the airport?s capacity and services. The project is expected to significantly boost Bhopal?s connectivity and economic prospects, positioning the city as a key regional transport hub.

By 2047, Raja Bhoj Airport will be equipped to handle increased passenger volumes and provide enhanced services, reflecting the state?s commitment to modernising its infrastructure and supporting economic development.
