Mr Puri said India's Government "is willing to cooperate and provide infrastructure" for the development of New Bhubaneswar, "but the state government has to provide the land".
Jul-2018. India's Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha informed the Rajya Sabha that Airports Authority of India (AAI) undertook a preliminary feasibility study of three sites near Khurda for the development of New Bhubaneswar Airport and submitted a report to the Odisha State Government.

The resulting airport is expected to be equipped for widebody aircraft operations, unlike existing Bhubaneswar Airport.
