## Description

A design capacity of 870,000 tonnes of cargo per year: that is the benchmark the MIHAN project (Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur) has set for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (NAG). Today the airport already operates an international cargo complex with customs clearance, handling pharmaceuticals, textiles and the region's famous Nagpur oranges. Passenger traffic is dominated by IndiGo and Air India Express, with Qatar Airways linking the city to Doha. Nagpur sits at India's geographical centre, where the north–south NH-44 meets the east–west NH-53 and the Mumbai–Howrah rail trunk line passes through – a genuinely multimodal location. The adjacent MIHAN special economic zone hosts a major aircraft MRO facility plus IT and pharma campuses, feeding steady freight demand. The 3,200 m runway takes wide-body freighters, with an extension planned as the cargo project develops. For forwarders covering central India, NAG is the natural consolidation point between Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
