The Airports Authority of India (AAI) invites bids for the development and upgrade of Saharsa airport, including work to expand the runway, according to reports. The tender process is for a specific set of projects tied to improving airport infrastructure.
Swarajya reports that the planned upgrade is valued at Rs 42.52 crore and includes runway expansion, indicating a focused scope of works aimed at enhancing operational capacity. The Times of India similarly describes the AAI’s invitation for bids for development and upgrade of the airport, but provides fewer financial and detail specifics in the excerpt provided.
Across the two sources, the core points align: AAI is moving forward with a procurement process for Saharsa airport improvements, and runway expansion is part of the upgrade plans. The difference in emphasis is mainly the level of detail—Swarajya includes the project value and runway-expansion framing more explicitly, while Times of India highlights the bid invitation and general development/upgrade intent.
