In a huge boost to connectivity and religious tourism, the Central Government has granted in-principle approval for a new greenfield airport in #Puri. Named the Shree Jagannath Airport, the ambitious infrastructure project will be developed over 1,164 acres at an estimated cost of ₹5,631 crore. The construction is set to take place in three phases. Once complete, it will have the capacity to handle 4.6 million passengers annually.

This development will boost regional connectivity, drive economic growth, and make the holy city of Puri more accessible to pilgrims and tourists.
