Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the New Terminal Building of Jodhpur Airport in Rajasthan. The project has been developed at a total cost of 480 crore rupees. Spread over an area of more than 23 thousand square metre, the new terminal building is designed to handle up to 20 lakh passengers annually.
It is equipped with modern passenger amenities to ensure a seamless and comfortable travel experience. Architecturally inspired by Rajasthan’s royal heritage, the terminal seamlessly blends traditional elements such as arches and jharokhas with contemporary design.
The inauguration of the new terminal building at Jodhpur Airport will provide a significant boost to tourism, trade, and employment generation in the region.
In a major boost to the aviation sector, with a particular focus on regional connectivity, Mr Modi also launched the Modified UDAN Scheme in Jodhpur.
This marks a significant leap forward in the country’s civil aviation landscape and will further advance the vision of Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik.
With an allocation of 28 thousand 840 crore rupees over the next ten years, the scheme aims to accelerate the next phase of aviation-led development. It focuses on multiple strategic components designed to ensure comprehensive and sustainable connectivity.
