The construction of the New Integrated Terminal Building (NITB) of the Vijayawada International Airport is going on at a snail’s pace.
The foundation stone for the ₹611-crore project was laid in December 2018 and the works began shortly after.
However, the progress of the work was hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Even as the construction gained pace in 2021, about 20% of the works pertaining to the four-lane approach road, terminal building, apron and others were completed as of May 2022. Sources say that only 40% of the work has been completed as of May 2023.
