New Chennai Parandur Airport – Status, Master Plan & Design
Parandur Airport is a proposed new greenfield airport project located west of Chennai, Tamil Nadu by Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO).
In 2021, Tamil Nadu’s state government requested Airports Authority of India (AAI) to inspect various sites and prepare a feasibility study report. Other sites in contention were located at Sriperumbudur, Maduranatakam, Walajabad, Alamathy, Kancheepuram, Cheyyur, Mamandur, Parandur or Gummidipoondi.
Chennai’s second airport at Parandur will function alongside the existing Chennai International Airport (MMA) which has reached its design capacity. The project spread across 5746 acres involves the acquisition of roughly 3000 acres of land. The rest is already owned by the state government.
Current Status
Parandur Airport’s site location was finalized in July 2022. Selection of a concessionaire (developer) is underway. A masterplan is expected to be created by 2025-end with civil construction work starting by 2026-end.
Parandur Airport is expected to be completed and opened in 2028 and will be connected with the Bangalore – Chennai Expressway.
