Pantnagar Airport Project: Authorities plan expansion
The Pantnagar Airport would be undergoing expansion as authorities have decided to expand the existing airport instead of building the new greenfield airport, which was originally proposed.
This decision is based on the finding that the greenfield project was not feasible due to the challenges involved such as land acquisition issues, environmental concerns, as well as funding constraints.
Under the plan layout, establishments will come under the jurisdiction of this expansion plan, such as Pantnagar Industrial Area, the University's Breeder Seed Production Centre (BSPC), Vegetable Research Centre (VRC), Agro-Forestry Research Centre, and Directorate of University Farms, among others.
