DGCA Clears Proposed Airport in Pune's Purandar

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted clearance for the proposed airport in Pune's Purandar, as announced by Murlidhar Mohol, the former Mayor of Pune. This approval marks a significant step forward in the development of the new airport, aimed at enhancing the region's connectivity and supporting its economic growth.

The proposed Purandar airport is expected to alleviate the congestion at the existing Pune International Airport, which has been struggling to accommodate the growing air traffic. The new airport will be developed with modern infrastructure and facilities, capable of handling both domestic and international flights.

Mohol highlighted that the DGCA's clearance is a crucial milestone that paves the way for further planning and development. The project is anticipated to boost the local economy, create job opportunities, and improve Pune's accessibility to other major cities and regions.

The Purandar airport project is part of a broader strategy to expand India's aviation infrastructure to meet the rising demand for air travel. The new airport is expected to stimulate investment in the surrounding areas, promoting industrial and commercial development.

The government of Maharashtra has been actively working on this project, with the intent to expedite the construction and make the airport operational as soon as possible. The new airport will significantly enhance Pune's capacity to handle air traffic, supporting the city's growth as a major economic and technological hub.

With the DGCA's approval, the focus now shifts to the next phases of development, including land acquisition, environmental clearances, and the commencement of construction activities. The Purandar airport is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of air travel and economic development in the Pune region.
