Kota Greenfield Airport is a proposed airport, planned to be built at Shambupura village in Bundi district, approximately 15 kilometres from Kota and 20 kilometres from Bundi, in Rajasthan, India.[1]
The airport will be built by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). The airport site is within 10 kilometres of the Chambal Ghariyal wildlife sanctuary and within 10 kilometres of the Mukundara Hills National Park. The proposed airport falls in the notified buffer area of Ramgarh Vishdhari Wildlife Sanctuary and will use 466 hectares of forest land.[2]
According to AAI's project report submitted for forest clearance, the airport is being planned on 1250 acres for Airbus A320 type of aircraft in Phase 1, with a provision for 2900 metre long runway and an apron suitable for three Narrow-body aircraft. AAI will construct a terminal building measuring 15000 square metres, with a peak hour capacity of 800 passengers. An Air Traffic Control tower and technical building, a car park for 250 vehicles and a public transport zone is also planned as part of Phase 1.
In Phase 2, the runway will be extended to 3581 metres for operation of Code 4C aircraft along with precision approach CAT-1 lighting for IFR operations. Fifteen additional parking stands and a full-length parallel taxiway will also be built as part of Phase 2.[3]
In November 2021, the Rajasthan Government's Cabinet approved the airport's construction and allocated land free of cost.[4] The Environment ministry's Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) approved the greenfield airport in December 2022.[2]
In the same month, the State Government approved a proposal of Rs 115 crore for works related to the construction of the airport. Rs 45 crore was to be borne by the Kota Urban Development Trust and the remaining Rs 75.80 crore by the State Government. The Rajasthan State Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited would spend Rs. 40 Crore for the work of shifting EHV power lines in the new Green Field Airport area, which will be carried out by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited.[5]
