Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the new terminal at Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati. Built at a cost of ₹4,000 crore, it is India’s first nature-themed airport terminal. Modi said the project opens “new opportunities” and marks “a new chapter in Assam’s development.” The terminal can handle over 13 million passengers each year, making it the largest in the Northeast. The airport is named after Assam’s first chief minister, whose statue was also unveiled. The terminal was developed by Adani Airports Holdings Limited and uses bamboo-inspired designs.
