NEW DELHI: Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, after inaugurating the renovated Terminal 2 at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here on Saturday, said that the government aims to have 350 airports by 2047.
India currently operates 164 airports and aims to add approximately 200 more by 2047, he said, adding that the challenge is not about constructing airports but about "how to bring in more aircraft to India".
The renovated T2 terminal will resume operations on Sunday after being closed since April 2025 for extensive renovation.
