Ludhiana Aerotropolis


An aerotropolis is being planned for Ludhiana. The previous Congress government of the state had proposed an airport in the city. Their proposal had included the suggestion of an airport first at Ladhowal and then it would be gradually expanded to the Halwara air force base to try to accommodate passenger flights. The Ludhiana Aerotropolis at Machhiwara is the country's second after the one at Durgapur.


The aerotropolis would be spread over 3,500 acres (1,416 ha), and about 2,500 acres (1,012 ha) of this area would be developed in the first phase at a cost of Rs 2,000 crore. This would include the process of land acquisition and construction of the airport. Bengal Aerotropolis had earlier signed a MoU with PSIDC for setting up an airport in Punjab, which acted as the project facilitator for them. They have already tied up with Singapore's Changi Airports International Pvt. Ltd for development and planning of the project.[3]
