Overview
- Three locations will be evaluated: Choodahalli and Somanahalli along Kanakapura Road, and a site near Nelamangala on the Tumakuru Road corridor.
- A high‑level Airports Authority of India team has inspected the shortlisted sites and submitted a preliminary assessment.
- Eligibility criteria require bidders to have executed at least ₹250 crore annually over the past five years and produced consultancy reports for at least five sector projects.
- The study will assess technical, environmental, operational and financial viability, including connectivity, land needs, cost estimates and approvals from bodies such as the Ministry of Defence and DGCA.
- The tender allows the two Kanakapura parcels to be assessed separately or as a combined site, and KSIIDC has kept the option to add locations to the study.
