Tamil Nadu to receive airport project approval in April

The Tamil Nadu government expects to receive in-principle approval for the Parandur airport project in April. This approval will allow construction to begin after extensive discussions with officials from various agencies last week. The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation has prepared tender documents, which will be issued soon after the approval. The project aims to build a second airport to accommodate nearly 100 million passengers. The Parandur airport will cover 2,172.73 acres and is estimated to cost Rs 29,144 crore. The first stage of approval was granted in July 2024, following a feasibility study completed three years ago.
