Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invited him to inaugurate the new terminal of Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport.
Taking to X after the meeting, the Chief Minister said, “Had the privilege to call upon Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji in New Delhi today. We have invited him to dedicate two major transformative projects to the people of Assam – the brand new terminal of Guwahati’s LGBI Airport and the foundation stone of the ₹10,601 crore brownfield Ammonia-Urea complex at Namrup. Grateful that Adarniya Modi Ji has kindly consented. We eagerly await his visit.”
The upcoming state-of-the-art terminal at Guwahati Airport is designed to handle over 1.3 crore passengers annually, easing congestion at the existing facility and positioning Guwahati as a major aviation hub for the Northeast.
Developed with modern design and sustainable infrastructure, the terminal is expected to enhance air connectivity and passenger experience while transforming Guwahati into the gateway to Southeast Asia.
