Development[edit]
Design and construction began in September 2005, and the airport was opened in March 2008.[8] The project is a public-private joint venture between GMR Group, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad and the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India (AAI). GMR Group holds 63% of the equity, MAHB 11%, while the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India each hold 13%.[1]
Airport Terminal
It is being developed in three phases, and when completed will provide infrastructure for 40 million passengers annually.[9] After the first phase of development, it will accommodate 10 million passengers a year.[9] The cost of the project is INR 24.7 billion (US$560 million).[10] The airport is being built on an area of 5,500 acres (2,200 ha) making it the largest airport in India in terms of area. It was designed by the UK engineering design firm Arup, which designed Dubai Terminal 3 and Beijing Terminal 3.[11]
First phase[edit]
In the first phase of development, the 105,300 m2 (1,133,000 sq ft) Terminal 1, with the capacity to handle 14 million passengers per annum has been constructed. Terminal 1 has 18 contact and 36 remote stands for aircraft parking. Other buildings, including the air traffic control tower, technical building, cargo hangars (100,000 tonnes capacity), maintenance hangars, utilities under a combined area of 49,500 m2 (533,000 sq ft) have been developed. An 1800-car parking lot in front of Terminal 1 is operational for the convenience of passengers and visitors. A hotel has been constructed in this phase.
Air traffic control tower[edit]

The ATC tower is 75 m (246 ft) tall and has a column-free perimeter to give uninterrupted views of the airfield.[12]
Second phase[edit]
In the second phase of the airport development, Terminal 1 will be expanded to an area of 260,000 m2 (2,800,000 sq ft) to cater to the growing demand. Post expansion, the terminal building will have 30 stands for aircraft parking. The low-cost terminal will be expanded to its full capacity of 18 million passengers per year.
An increase in established facilities such as hotels, offices, cargo and maintenance facilities will be undertaken. The total developed area at the end of this phase will be approximately 480,000 m2 (5,200,000 sq ft).
Final phase[edit]
The airport will reach its full maturity after the third phase. An additional floor area of 420,000 m2 (4,500,000 sq ft) will be developed bringing the total built-up area to 900,000 m2 (9,700,000 sq ft).
The ultimate master plan provides for a capacity of 40 million passengers yearly[11] with the accompanying air and ground facilities. Further acquisition of land to the north and south will allow expansion of a third and fourth runway on demand.
Cargo terminal[edit]
The state-of-the-art cargo terminal has implemented a concept of an integrated cargo facility housing domestic and international facilities under one roof. The Air Cargo Complex has a built-in area of 14,330 m2 (154,200 sq ft). The complex is a modular building with a capacity to handle cargo throughput of 100,000 MT annually. It has dedicated cargo apron facilities for handling regular and freighter operations.[13]
