PM Modi to open Bengaluru airport’s new terminal today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new Terminal-2 (T-2) of Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport today. It is built at a cost of around ₹5,000 crore. The terminal will double the passenger handling capacity of the airport to 5-6 crore passengers per annum, from the current capacity of about 2.5 crore, according to the PMO.

Terminal 2 is designed as a tribute to the Garden city of Bengaluru and the passenger experience is meant to be a “walk in the garden”. Passengers will travel through 10,000 sqmts of green walls, hanging gardens and outdoor gardens.

“Based on the sustainability initiatives, Terminal 2 will be the largest terminal in the world to be pre-certified platinum rating by US GBC (green building council) prior to commencing operations. The theme of ‘Naurasa’ unites all the commissioned artworks for Terminal 2. The artworks reflect the heritage and culture of Karnataka as well as the broader Indian ethos,” the PMO said.
