PROJECT CONCEPT

Airports today have become multimodal, multifunctional enterprises generating considerable commercial development within and well beyond their boundaries. Spines and clusters of airport-linked businesses form along major airport arteries. In other words, there is now a marked shift from the traditional City Airport to the Airport City - Aerotropolis.

In its purest form, an Aerotropolis is an economic hub that extends out from an airport into a surrounding area that consists mostly of distribution and logistics centres, related business and social infrastructure.

BAPL envisions an Aerotropolis in the Asansol-Durgapur region comprising an Airport, Industrial, IT and Business Skypark, Logistics Skyhub and an Education & Health Skycity and a supporting township. With an expected final population of some 150,000, the project is large enough to create a new city worth national significance.

This new city will draw upon the following regional characteristics while having a catalytic effect on sustaining the region's socioeconomic growth:

New opportunities in the fields of Services, Information Technology (IT & ITeS), Telecommunications, Retail, Hospitality, Biotechnology and Agro-processing

Educational resources of Asansol Durgapur Planning Authority (ADPA) and its hinterland

Need for contemporary Housing and Social Infrastructure

Rapid growth of Trade and Commerce

Latent tourism potential of the region

PROJECT REGION

182 km from Kolkata, down the NH2, lies Post-Independent India’s first Planned Urban Agglomeration, the Asansol – Durgapur Region.

Spread over an area of 1616 sq. km. and bound by two rivers in the north and south, the zone has demonstrated engineering excellence to the highest level. From establishment of the nation’s first locomotive works, to the growth of India’s first few large scale integrated steel plants as well as a thriving coal and mineral industry, the zone has witnessed immense development over the last five decades. ‘Sujalaam’ is located almost at the centre of the Asansol – Durgapur Industrial zone. The catchment area has a combined population of over 10 million approximately. The area is one of the richest, in terms of mineral and industrial resources in Eastern India.
