Hosur Airport Proposal

January 22 , 2026 14 hrs 0 min 18 0
  • The Ministry of Defence (MoD) rejected Tamil Nadu’s proposal to set up an airport at Hosur.
  • The request was denied because Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) requires the controlled airspace in the region.
  • The Tamil Nadu government had earlier sought airspace relaxation in June 2025, which was also rejected.
  • Hosur Airport is proposed as an international airport with a capacity of 30 million passengers.
  • The project site is located in Shoolagiri taluk and covers about 2,300 acres.
  • The airport also faces a restriction due to the 150 km distance rule from Bengaluru Airport.
