Central team to examine land parcels in Telangana’s Kothaguden for airport on September 7
A central technical team will visit Bhadradri Kothagudem in Telangana on September 7 to evaluate land parcels for a potential new airport. This follows the rejection of previous sites due to technical and geographical unsuitability.
Why it matters
The development of regional transportation infrastructure is a key priority for state economic growth and connectivity in Telangana.
A technical team from the Centre would examine four to five land parcels in Bhadradri Kotahgudem in Telangana on September 7, 2026, to check if they are suitable for setting up an airport there. This comes after lands in two locations in the district were found unviable due to technical reasons.
The Central team will check geographical, climate conditions and technical feasibility needed for setting up airports at the five land parcels.
Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu informed the State Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao of the proposed visit, when the latter met with the former in New Delhi on Tuesday (September 1, 2026), as per a press release.
