Hosur Airport: TN Seeks Site Clearance in 14 Days

The Tamil Nadu government is set to fast-track the Hosur airport project, targeting site clearance within the next two weeks.

Planned in Krishnagiri district, the airport will serve the industrial city of Hosur and nearby Bengaluru, with a projected annual capacity of three crore passengers. The state has earmarked approximately 2,000 acres across five villages in Hosur and Shoolagiri taluks for development. Obtaining site clearance from the Union Civil Aviation Ministry is the first of several approvals required, while the Krishnagiri district administration is preparing the Land Development Plan (LDP) for the project.

Once clearance is granted, the government aims to begin land acquisition within four months, advancing the project ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The proposed Berigai-Bagalur location has been favoured due to minimal obstacles compared to alternative sites in the region.
