Indore Airport Unveils New ATC Tower and Sustainability Initiatives

Civil Aviation Minister announces major upgrades, including a zero-waste plant and plans for a new terminal to boost passenger capacity.

Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu inaugurated a new Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower and technical block at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport in Indore.
The airport has installed a zero-waste plant, making it the first airport in India with such a sustainability-focused facility, capable of processing 1,000 kg of waste daily.
The minister confirmed plans to construct a new terminal building within three years, increasing the airport's passenger capacity from 40 lakh to 55 lakh annually.
Efforts are underway to expand the airport's runway from 2,800 meters to 3,400 meters to accommodate larger Code-E aircraft, pending state government approval for land acquisition.
Future connectivity enhancements were announced, including potential international routes to Singapore, Thailand, and the USA, along with ongoing discussions to elevate the airport's status to an international facility.
