## ANSWER

Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL  AVIATION (Shri Murlidhar Mohol)

- (a)  to  (f):  At  present,  there  are  158  operational  airports  in  the country.  The  State/  UT-wise  list  of  these  airports  is  at  Annexure. Government  of  India  (GoI)  has  accorded  'In-Principle'  approval  for setting up of 21 Greenfield Airports across the country namely Mopa

in Goa, Navi Mumbai,  Shirdi and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra, Kalaburagi,  Vijayapura,  Hassan  and  Shivamogga  in  Karnataka, Dabra (Gwalior) in Madhya Pradesh, Kushinagar and Noida (Jewar) in Uttar Pradesh, Dholera and Rajkot (Hirasar) in Gujarat, Karaikal in Puducherry,  Dagadarthi  ,  Bhogapuram  and  Oravakal  (Kurnool)  in Andhra  Pradesh,  Durgapur  in  West  Bengal,  Pakyong  in  Sikkim, Kannur in Kerala and Itanagar (Hollongi) in Arunachal Pradesh, as per GFA Policy, 2008. Out of these 21 Greenfield Airports Projects, 12 Greenfield airports have been operationalized. Eight (8) Greenfield Airports namely Kalaburagi, Oravakal (Kurnool), Sindhudurg, Kushinagar, Itanagar (Hollongi), Mopa, Shivamogga and Rajkot (Hirasar) have been operationalised since 2019. The  expansion  and  modernisation  of  airports  is  a  continuous process and is undertaken by Airports Authority of India (AAI) and other Airport Operators  from time to time depending  on  the availability of land, commercial viability, socio-economic considerations, traffic demand and willingness of airlines to operate to/from  such  airports.  To  address  the  anticipated  growth  in  air traffic, AAI and other Airport Operators have targeted capital outlay of more than Rs. 91,000 crore in the airport sector during 2019-24 under  National  Infrastructure  Pipeline  (NIP)  for  construction  of Greenfield Airports and new terminals, expansion and modernisation of existing terminals and strengthening of runways, among other activities. AAI  has  undertaken  the  construction  of  New  Integrated  Terminal Building  including  Apron  and  allied  works  at  Vijayawada  Airport, construction of ATC tower cum technical block at Tirupati Airport, construction  of  New  Domestic  Departure  Terminal  Building  at Kadapa  Airport  and  construction  of  New    Domestic  Terminal Building at Rajahmundry Airport in Andhra Pradesh. The timelines for airport projects depend upon various factors such as  land  acquisition,  mandatory  clearances,  removal  of  obstacles, financial closure etc. by the respective airport developers. With the budgetary support of Rs. 1000 crore, GoI has approved the proposal of Revival/Development of 50 more unserved and underserved  Airports/  Helipads/  Water  Aerodromes  and  Advance Landing  Grounds  (ALGs)  during  the  period  of  03  years  i.e.  from

01.04.2023 to 31.03.2026.
