Hubballi Airport earned the prestigious Platinum Recognition at the ACI Green Airports Recognition 2025, highlighting its outstanding commitment to sustainable energy practices. This honour was specifically awarded to airports handling fewer than six million passengers and reflects Hubballi’s impactful contributions to green infrastructure. A major factor in this recognition is the 8 MW solar power plant set up by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) at Hubballi, which generates over 11 million units of clean energy annually. This initiative not only powers the airport efficiently but also supports the energy needs of multiple airports and facilitates future terminal expansions.
