The Telangana government issued a release order for Rs 205 crore towards land acquisition for the Mamnoor Airport in Warangal on July 23.
The release order was issued by the Telangana Roads and Buildings Department. In February this year, the Centre approved the development and operationalisation of Warangal Airport, waiving the exclusivity clause that restricted new
airport developments within 150 km of Hyderabad International Airport.
According to an official order, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) had sought approval for the revival of Warangal’s Mamnoor Airport, referring to letters from the Telangana government confirming Hyderabad International Airport Limited (HIAL) had issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the project.
