TN BJP Chief says that TVK government must cooperate with Centre on new airport in Chennai. Says political reasons should not overshadow state's development...✈️ https://t.co/ug3lZwrZEe
Ministry of Civil Aviation in a written response to DMK MP @PWilsonDMK informs that they haven’t received any official proposal from TN Govt regarding any change in site for Chennai’s second airport at Parandur.
TN Govt needs to clarify whether they’re going ahead with Parandur airport or they’re gonna look for alternative sites. No point in staying silent and delaying the greenfield airport project that Chennai badly needs.
The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation’s reply to Honourable MP @PWilsonDMK in the Rajya Sabha confirms that the Government of India granted ‘In-Principle’ approval for the #Parandur Greenfield International #Airport on 07.04.2025, based on TIDCO’s proposal.
This is yet another affirmation that the #DravidianModel Government under the leadership of the then Honourable Chief Minister @mkstalin meticulously secured every statutory and stage-wise approval required to make #Chennai’s long-awaited ***dual independent runway*** Greenfield International Airport a reality. 🛫
Tamil Nadu cannot afford to mortgage its future to political grandstanding.
Chennai urgently needs a 5,000+ acre next generation aviation hub with two “independent parallel” 4000Mtrs+ CodeF runways (not intersecting runways like Meenambakam which curtails runway capacity with lengths of 3600+Mtrs Code4E and 2000+Mtrs Code 3C ), MRO facilities, cargo terminals, aerospace industries, logistics parks, hotels and some room for future expansion.
The site was chosen after extensive technical evaluation, balancing aviation requirements, connectivity, future scalability and minimising overall social and environmental impact.
The #DravidianModel Government recognised the pain and angst of the affected villages and designed one of India’s most comprehensive rehabilitation and compensation packages to ensure affected families receive the best possible support while enabling a project that will benefit generations to come.
Every responsible political party must rise above short-term politics and support transformational infrastructure that will shape Tamil Nadu’s future. Every decision on critical infrastructure must ultimately be guided by science, technical expertise and the long-term interests of Tamil Nadu.
It is deeply unfortunate that a project of such strategic importance now stands clouded by uncertainty, with the Government maintaining silence while media reports speculate that it has been abandoned.
Our State deserves consensus, not political obstruction.

To my Parliamentary question regarding whether the new TN Government has requested the Central Government to change the proposed site of the Parandur Chennai Greenfield Airport, and if so, the details of such a request, including dates and the Government's response; the Hon'ble Minister of State @mohol_murlidhar replied with a firm NO!
Therefore the 10200 crore Parandur Greenfield Airport project conceived by DMK Govt remains unaffected based on the Union Minister’s reply.
My other question on the status of Chennai, Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai and Tuticorin airports, indicating the project-wise budget allocation, physical and financial progress, expected date of completion and other relevant details is also answered.

@nirmalregency Yes sir. This is common in CAE. Abrupt onset. Initially faster frequencies, actually 3.5 HZ, then transition to 3 Hz spike and doom pattern in the middle part and then slow down to towards the offset. It’s called ringing effect.
