In the Union Budget 2025, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a transformative expansion of the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme, reinforcing the government’s commitment to enhancing regional air connectivity across India. Since its inception, the UDAN scheme has successfully connected 88 airports and operationalized 619 routes, positively impacting around 1.5 crore middle-class travelers by offering faster and more affordable travel options.
The revised scheme aims to add 120 new destinations over the next decade, targeting an additional 4 crore passengers. A key focus will be on developing helipads and smaller airports, particularly in remote and hilly regions, with special attention to the North Eastern states.
Additionally, the budget outlines strategic aviation projects in Bihar, including greenfield airports, capacity expansion of Patna Airport, and a new brownfield airport at Bihta. These initiatives reflect the government’s commitment to enhancing aviation infrastructure, making air travel more accessible, efficient, and inclusive while addressing the growing demands of regional air traffic.
