In a significant move to bolster Tamil Nadu's aviation infrastructure, the state government is gearing up to approach the Centre for crucial site clearance to establish a new greenfield airport in Hosur. This development promises to transform the industrial landscape of the Krishnagiri district region.
Strategic Industrial Boost
The proposed Hosur Airport, planned near Parandur, is positioned to become a game-changer for one of Tamil Nadu's most vital industrial corridors. Home to major manufacturing units including several automobile giants and electronic manufacturing facilities, the region has long awaited enhanced air connectivity to support its economic growth.
Government's Proactive Approach
State authorities have completed preliminary assessments and are now preparing the necessary documentation to submit to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The site clearance represents the first critical step in the multi-stage approval process required for new airport projects under the central government's guidelines.
Connectivity and Economic Implications
The new airport is expected to:
- Provide direct air connectivity to industrial hubs in Krishnagiri district
- Reduce travel time for business professionals and industrial workers
- Support the region's growing manufacturing and export sectors
- Create new employment opportunities in aviation and related services
Regional Aviation Expansion
This initiative aligns with Tamil Nadu's broader strategy to enhance regional air connectivity across the state. The Hosur Airport project complements existing aviation infrastructure while addressing the specific needs of the industrial belt that shares proximity with Bengaluru.
Industry experts anticipate that the airport will significantly boost the region's attractiveness to investors while providing much-needed infrastructure support to existing industries. The state government's push for site clearance indicates its commitment to accelerating the project's timeline.
