Exclusive civilian international airport at Bhogapuram to be ready in Vizag by 2025, says CM

CM Jagan, who was in Vizag on Monday for the inauguration of the Infosys campus, expressed that the Bhogapuram International Airport will be ready within two years. “We have a beautiful international airport just taking off. Vizag will have its exclusive civilian international airport in two years,” highlighted the CM.

The GMR Group constructing the greenfield airport acquired a loan of Rs 4,00 crores from an Indian Infrastructure Finance Company (IIFCL) run association. This project at Bhogapuram will mark GMR’s fourth major airport in the country, after Goa, Delhi, and Hyderabad. It is recalled that the CM laid the foundation for the Bhogapuram International Airport near Vizag on 3 May 2023.

The existing airport in the city is controlled by the Indian Navy and also houses INS Dega, a naval air station. This led the AP Government to moot an exclusive civilian airport, giving birth to the Bhogapuram airport.
