Guwahati: The Assam government has approved an additional Rs 116.20 crore for the expansion of approach roads leading to the upcoming Integrated Terminal at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport.
This decision raises the total budget for the project to Rs 2,474 crore, up from the initially allocated Rs 2,358 crore.
The new Integrated Terminal, set to become operational soon, is expected to significantly increase the airport’s annual passenger handling capacity to over 13 million.
