By November 2025, IndiGo aims to increase this to 79 daily departures, including 14 international ones. The airline will further scale up to 140 daily departures by November 2026, with 30 of them being international.

The greenfield airport, spread across 1,160 hectares, is designed to handle 20 million passengers and 0.5 million tonne of cargo annually in its initial phase. Once fully operational, its capacity will rise to 90 million passengers and 3.2 million tonne of cargo per annum.
