India’s Jaipur airport city is continuing its expansion with a new international cargo airport being built near the town of Alwar, along the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).
The new cargo airport will be located in Neemrana on the Jaipur–Delhi highway and will be linked up to a high–speed train service running between Alwar and Delhi.
According to reports in the local media, a government source said the airport would be built between the villages of Ajarka and Kotkasingh which “would allow industries to along the DMIC freight corridor, as well as businesses in Neemrana, Shahjahanpur, Bhiwadi and Behror, to ship their cargo directly to foreign countries.”
Sunil Arora, chairman of Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corp Ltd (RIICO), said that the investment in infrastructure would propel Alwar forward as a major business hub of India.
