Do you know that before 2014, India had only 74 airports? But now India boasts over 150 airports, showing significant progress in improving connectivity compared to the efforts of the previous governments.
On April 14, 2025, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Hisar Airport by flagging off a commercial flight from Hisar to Ayodhya.
Built on a budget of 410 crores, this new terminal building is made with the commitment to making air travel safe, affordable and accessible to all residents.
The Hisar Airport was established in the year 1965 as an airstrip; however, with the upgrading of different governments after every 5 years, it has undergone various phases of development and expansion.
Additionally, the flights from Hisar are scheduled as twice weekly for Ayodhya and thrice weekly to Jammu, Jaipur, Ahmedabad & Chandigarh.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for an 800 MW thermal power unit at the Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant.
The project, which will cover an area of 233 acres and cost approximately Rs 8,470 crore, aims to enhance Haryana’s energy security and ensure a reliable power supply for last-mile electricity access.
