## Description

A new cold-storage-equipped cargo terminal, opened by Air India SATS in September 2025, gives Swami Vivekananda Airport (RPR) its first real freight capability, rated at 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes per month. The airport serves Raipur and the wider state of Chhattisgarh, a region built on steel, mining and agriculture in central India. An international cargo hub project, revived in November 2024, aims to tie the site into national logistics networks. Road and rail links open up the industrial belt around Raipur and Bhilai. For forwarders, RPR is an emerging inland cargo location whose volumes are set to grow with the new terminal.
