Current Affairs - State - Discussion

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the Airports Authority of India’s proposal to develop a Greenfield Airport at Kota-Bundi in Rajasthan with an investment of ₹1,507 crore. Kota, widely recognised as the industrial capital of Rajasthan and a global hub for educational coaching, has seen rising demand for better transport infrastructure. The new airport will feature a modern terminal, a longer runway capable of handling larger aircraft like the A-321, and facilities to serve up to 2 million passengers annually. This project will strengthen connectivity, boost industrial and educational growth, generate employment, and accelerate regional economic development.
