Telangana Government Sanctions Funds For Pre-Feasibility Study Of Ramagundam Airport In Peddapalli

The Telangana state government has sanctioned Rs 40.53 lakh to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for conducting the pre-feasibility study of the greenfield airport project in Peddapalli.

The study will cover 591 acres in Anantharam village, Peddapalli district, marking a crucial step towards bringing the airport to life.

The Transport, Roads & Buildings (TR&B) Department has issued the necessary orders for the study. Once completed, the Central Government will undertake a detailed feasibility study to finalise the project.

Peddapalli MP G Vamshi Krishna described the sanction as a “historic step towards realising the project,” emphasising that the initiative will benefit local residents, Singareni Collieries Company Limited employees, students, and the business community.

He added that the airport will provide direct air connectivity, eliminating the need for long journeys to Hyderabad, which is over 200 km from Peddapalli and currently the only functional airport in Telangana.

The MP highlighted the potential economic and industrial benefits, noting that the airport will create new opportunities for regional development.

“For the past two years, I have been consistently pursuing this dream along with the people of Peddapalli. That collective effort is now bearing fruit,” he said.

G Vamshi Krishna further expressed his commitment to seeing the project through to completion, stating, “My fight will continue until the Ramagundam airport becomes a reality.”

The district administration had earlier conducted a land survey and submitted its report to the state government in March.

The state government is also quickly progressing with the development of the Warangal airport.

Back in July this year, it had issued orders to release Rs 205 crore for acquiring 280 acres of land for the revival of the long-defunct Mamnoor airport, approved by the Centre in March.
