History
The airport was commissioned in 1971. In 2008, an expansion plan was proposed, and the project got underway in 2010. The construction of a new passenger terminal began in 2012, and was inaugurated in October 2015. The airport was declared an international airport by the Government of India in June 2017. In 2018, the Airports Authority of India proposed an expansion of the existing runway and apron to accommodate larger aircraft, and the foundation stone for the project was laid on 20 February 2019. In November 2019, the minister of civil aviation announced plans for a construction of a new lounge at the airport and that the runway expansion, estimated to cost ₹1.77 billion (US$18 million), would be completed by 2021. However, the expansion of the runway and installation of supporting aids, were completed only in February 2025.
