Spread across more than 23,000 square metres, the terminal incorporates modern passenger amenities, energy-efficient systems, water conservation measures and other sustainable features designed to achieve a 5-Star GRIHA rating.

Under the modified UDAN scheme, the Centre has earmarked Rs 28,840 crore over the next 10 years to expand regional aviation through the development of 100 aerodromes, 200 helipads, operational support for regional airports and continued viability gap funding for airlines, according to an official statement.

Among the key projects is the 9 MMTPA greenfield refinery-cum-petrochemical complex at Pachpadra, developed as a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and the Rajasthan government at an investment of over Rs 79,450 crore. The complex has a petrochemical production capacity of 2.4 MMTPA and is expected to boost India’s energy security, petrochemical self-sufficiency and industrial development. The refinery was originally scheduled to be inaugurated in April, but the event was postponed after a major fire broke out at the facility a day before the planned launch. PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone for the Rs 13,000-crore Phase II of the Jaipur Metro Rail Project. The 41-km north-south corridor, comprising 36 stations, will connect Prahladpura with Todi Mod, linking key industrial, residential and commercial areas, including Jaipur Airport, Sitapura Industrial Area, Vishwakarma Industrial Area, SMS Hospital and Vidyadhar Nagar.
