Chennai Airport expansion project

Entities: Ministry of Civil Aviation (India) · Muraleedhar Mahali · Chennai International Airport

Overview

In early July, Tamil Nadu officials began reviewing a satellite‑terminal proposal aimed at extending Chennai International Airport’s capacity through 2045. By the end of the month, the project entered the construction phase: the civil aviation minister announced that the second phase was underway, backed by a ₹236 crore investment. The upgrade will add a new terminal capable of handling up to 3.5 crore passengers per year and includes ancillary improvements at nearby airports in South India. The shift from planning to active development reflects a rapid acceleration of the expansion effort to meet growing regional air‑traffic demand.
