India's tech capital's second airport will come up in south Bengaluru, Karnataka deputy CM and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar confirmed at Network18 Future of Work Summit.
Moneycontrol reported on March 19 that Chudahalli and Somanahalli on Kanakapura Road, along with a site on Nelamangala-Kunigal Road, have been shortlisted for the city’s second airport.
Shivakumar’s statement indicates that the two locations on Kanakapura Road in south Bengaluru are frontrunners, even as the state government maintains that a final decision has not yet been taken.
On the proposed AI City, Shivakumar said state cabinet is expected to take up the proposal on April 30. “We have already identified 9,000 acres of land. Discussions have begun, including with international stakeholders. The idea is to develop a city within close proximity to Bengaluru, ideally within 30 minutes of travel, given the importance of traffic and connectivity,” he said.
He said that planned AI City would have residential and commercial zones, supported by robust infrastructure, including roads, power, water supply, and green cover. “We want to bring AI and related industries into one dedicated location with world-class facilities,” he said.
