CM M K Stalin announced in the Tamil Nadu assembly that Hosur, an industrial hub near Bengaluru, will soon have its own international airport.

Hosur International Airport

The new airport in Hosur will be built on 2000 acres of land and can handle around 30 million passengers in a year. The announcement was made by the CM under Rule 110, and he claimed that the new airport would aid development in Hosur, Krishnagiri, and Dharmapuri. CM Stalin said, “I am happy to announce that Hosur will get an international airport.”

The news is being hailed as a positive step in the state's growth. T R B Rajaa, industries minister, has lauded it as a “monumental step forward for the region” and a “game-changer”. “This project will greatly enhance connectivity and stimulate economic growth, benefiting not only Hosur but also neighbouring districts such as Dharmapuri and Salem, while also providing a significant boost to various parts of Bengaluru.”

Hosur

Hosur, in Tamil Nadu, is the manufacturing hub for various big names like TVS Motor Company, Ashok Leyland, Titan Industries, etc., whereas the nearby district of Krishnagiri has plants for Ola, Ather, TVS, Tata Electronics, etc. The city is also close to Bengaluru (around 40 km), implying that the new international airport will ease the traffic at the Bengaluru Airport.

The announcement by the CM also mentioned that a Kalaignar library will be opened in the Tiruchi district.
