Nizamabad Airport

Nizamabad Airport is a proposed airport near Jakranpalli in Telangana, India. The project site is located on NH-44, 30 kilometres east of Nizamabad. The State Government had proposed to set up regional greenfield airports at Jakranpalli along with other sites in the state in 2008.

However, in March 2015, the State Government asked its infrastructure and investment department to put the development of Nizamabad airport on hold due to lack of funds and other issues. Development of the airport will be considered at a later date.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) inspected the 1,200 acre site and gave its approval for the site in June 2013. However, AAI asked for a total of 1,500 acres to accommodate all necessary airport infrastructure.

The cost of construction of the airport will be borne by the State government. In March 2015, The State Government asked the infrastructure and investment department to put the development of Nizamabad Airport on hold due to lack of funds and restrictions imposed on developing airports within 150 km radius of the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at Shamshabad.
