Big Infra Push For Assam: PM Modi Likely To Launch Guwahati Airport's New Terminal, Rs 10,601 Crore Namrup Fertiliser Plant

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday (4 November) met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and invited him to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for two major development projects in the state.

The projects are —the new terminal at Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport and the Rs 10,601 crore brownfield Ammonia-Urea complex at Namrup.

The meeting, which lasted around twenty minutes, focused on key infrastructure and industrial initiatives aimed at boosting connectivity and self-reliance in the Northeast.

According to an official statement, Sarma requested the Prime Minister to dedicate to the nation the new terminal of Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport and to lay the foundation stone for the Rs 10,601 crore brownfield Ammonia-Urea complex at Namrup.

The Prime Minister’s visit for these landmark events is expected soon, marking a major step forward in Assam’s ongoing infrastructure push.

The new terminal at LGBI Airport is projected to handle over 1.3 crore passengers annually, positioning Guwahati as a regional aviation hub and easing air traffic across the Northeast. It is seen as a transformative development for the region’s connectivity and trade potential.

Meanwhile, the Namrup Ammonia-Urea complex will play a vital role in strengthening the agricultural sector by ensuring a reliable supply of fertilisers to farmers across the Northeast.

Expressing appreciation after the meeting, the Chief Minister said, “Grateful that Adarniya Modi Ji has kindly consented. We eagerly await his visit.”
