Rajasthan Chief Secretary Reviews Kota-Bundi Airport Works

Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas reviewed the construction progress of the Kota-Bundi New Greenfield Airport at a meeting held at the Government Secretariat on Thursday. He directed officials from the departments concerned to coordinate closely and ensure that all associated works advance simultaneously to meet the scheduled completion deadline.

Srinivas assessed the progress of the project and instructed officials to avoid a sequential approach to construction. The runway, passenger terminal building, Air Traffic Control tower and other supporting infrastructure are to be developed concurrently. Officials informed the meeting that the airport is scheduled for completion by October 4, 2027.

The airport is being developed with modern aviation infrastructure and passenger facilities. Its proposed terminal building will cover 20,000 square metres and is designed to handle 2 mn passengers annually. The terminal will include 14 check-in counters and nine self-check-in kiosks, along with an automated baggage handling system and baggage claim carousels.

A G+3-storey technical block will house the Air Traffic Control facilities, while a dedicated fire station will support airport safety and emergency response operations. The project also includes renewable energy infrastructure, with a ground-mounted solar power plant of 1 MWp capacity expected to meet approximately 25 per cent of the airport’s annual energy consumption.

Environmental and civic facilities form part of the development plan. A 250-kilolitre-per-day Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor-based sewage treatment plant will operate on a zero-discharge system. A six-lane approach road will connect the airport, which will also provide parking for 300 cars and 70 taxis, as well as electric vehicle charging stations. The coordinated construction plan is intended to keep the project on schedule while ensuring that core aviation, passenger and utility facilities are ready for operations.
