Tamil Nadu’s industrial town of Hosur is set to receive a major infrastructural boost with the announcement of a new international airport. Chief Minister MK Stalin made the announcement in the state assembly, emphasizing the strategic importance of this development in propelling the state’s economy towards a $1 trillion target by 2030.
The proposed airport will cover 2,000 acres and is designed to handle 30 million passengers annually. This move is expected to significantly enhance connectivity and support the burgeoning industrial and economic activities in the region. Hosur has emerged as a hub for electronics, automobile, and more recently, electric vehicle manufacturing.
Chief Minister Stalin highlighted that this project is part of a broader initiative to develop Hosur, Krishnagiri, and Dharmapuri districts into key economic growth centers. The government sees the airport as essential for facilitating business and travel, reducing dependency on Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, which is 74 km away.

Industries Minister TRB Rajaa praised the project, noting that it would not only benefit Hosur but also nearby districts such as Dharmapuri and Salem. He added that the new airport would create a twin-city ecosystem with Bengaluru, fostering growth in both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Despite the enthusiasm, the project faces challenges due to current central government policies that restrict new airports within a 150-km radius of existing ones. This policy could pose a hurdle since Hosur is within this range from Bengaluru’s airport. However, Tamil Nadu’s government is determined to push forward, citing the airport's critical role in the state’s economic strategy.
Hosur’s existing industrial base, which includes major companies like Ashok Leyland, Titan, TVS Motors, and newer entrants like Ola’s e-vehicle factory, stands to benefit greatly from improved air connectivity. The airport is expected to streamline logistics and travel, thereby attracting more investments.
The new airport will complement Tamil Nadu’s existing international airports in Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, and Madurai, and domestic airports in Salem and Tuticorin. This development aligns with the state’s broader infrastructural and economic goals, reinforcing its position as a leading industrial and export hub in India.
Overall, the Hosur international airport project is poised to be a game-changer for Tamil Nadu, enhancing regional connectivity, boosting economic growth, and supporting the state’s ambitious vision for the future.
