Description
Description | The Parandur Greenfield Airport project was proposed as Chennai's second international airport to alleviate congestion at the existing Chennai International Airport and support the state's expanding aviation and industrial sectors. Planned near Parandur in Kancheepuram district, it was expected to be one of Tamil Nadu's largest infrastructure developments. The project has faced opposition due to land acquisition, environmental concerns, and displacement of local livelihoods, leading to protests and speculation about its cancellation or indefinite delay. The estimated economic impact of cancellation is around Rs 50,000 crore, including lost investments and employment opportunities in related sectors. |
