The central government has granted site clearance for the development of two greenfield airports at Kuppam and Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh. The approval paves the way for future construction of the airports.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation announced that the Centre has given site clearance for the proposed greenfield airports at Kuppam and Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh. The decision follows the standard appraisal process for new airport projects.
The airports are planned as greenfield facilities, meaning they will be built from scratch on new land. They are expected to improve air connectivity in the region and support economic growth.
The clearance allows the project authorities to proceed with land acquisition and detailed planning. Further approvals, including environmental and security clearances, will be required before construction can begin.
