Dholera Airport to Be Completed by December 2025

Ahmedabad: Gujarat’s aviation sector is set for a significant boost with the Dholera Greenfield Airport on schedule for completion by December 2025, as per details shared in Parliament by Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol. The ministry clarified that there has been no extension to the original deadline, and the project remains on track.
Situated near the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), the airport is being developed under the Greenfield Airports Policy, 2008, as part of the Government of India’s regional air connectivity expansion efforts.
The new airport is strategically planned to support the industrial and economic growth of Dholera SIR, enhancing both passenger and cargo operations. It is also expected to relieve congestion at Ahmedabad Airport, currently under pressure from rising traffic volumes.
In response to a parliamentary question from Rajya Sabha MP Narhari Amin, the Minister stated that under the Greenfield Airports Policy, the Government of Gujarat (GoG) had identified 11 new potential sites for greenfield airports. Of these, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) received requests for Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) for eight sites.
According to the study, five sites — Morbi, Dhordo, Rajpipla, Dahod, and Dwarka — were found to be feasible, while Palitana, Botad, and Rajula were deemed not feasible. No PFS request has yet been received for Ankleshwar, Ambaji, and Dholavira.
Regarding the expansion of existing airports, Gujarat currently has nine airports and airstrips, with six under AAI and three operated by the state government. So far, additional land has been provided only for Keshod Airport.
A feasibility study for Amreli airstrip, operated by the state, concluded that expansion was not viable. The AAI has not yet received requests for PFS for the remaining two state-operated sites at Mehsana and Mandvi.
