Kuppam Airport (Domestic Airport) is a public airport under construction at Kuppam, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] The greenfield airport will be built by the Infrastructure Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited (INCAP).[2] The airport is to handle Passengers and cargo operations. The project site is located at Shantipuram mandal, about 25 km (16 mi) from the proposed eight-lane Chennai–Bangalore Expressway, and will be built at an estimated cost of ₹100 crore (equivalent to ₹114 crore or US$14 million in 2020) in 1,000 acres (4.0 km2).[1]
The regions around Kuppam has a wide horticulture presence with several plantations of flowers, fruits and vegetables. The Chittoor district has also seen an increased industrial activity. To benefit the economy of the area, a cargo airport has been proposed.[1]
In 2015, INCAP conducted a feasibility study for the development of five greenfield airports in the state, including Kuppam.[3][4] The Central Government of India cleared the proposal for an airstrip at Kuppam on 2 August[failed verification] 2018.[1] The then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, laid the foundation stone for the airport project on 3 January 2019.[5] It was originally slated to complete the construction within the next eight months.[5] Construction is expected to Start in the Year 2023 and to be completed by December 2024.[citation needed]
