The phased redevelopment will begin with the demolition of the existing structure in November 2025, ensuring minimal disruption while prioritizing passenger safety and convenience. Jeet Adani stated, “This redevelopment is about future-proofing our city’s place on the global stage.”
Upon completion, T1 will represent India’s leadership in eco-conscious airport design.
