As these airports undergo expansion and improvement, the UDAN initiative is expected to open up new avenues for businesses, tourism, and overall regional progress.

The announcement reflects the government's commitment to bridging the gap between urban and rural areas, ensuring that air travel becomes a viable and affordable option for residents in the Guna-Shivpuri region. The UDAN initiative's expansion into this central Indian area is poised to contribute significantly to the overall development and connectivity of the region.
