The Odisha government accorded in-principle approval in September 2018. And sought a detail project report. In November 2018, the State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding with DPCL for the development of a commercial airport over 500 acres at the cost of Rs. 500 crore. It will have a runway length of 3,200 meters. In January 2020, the Government approved of DPCL's proposal to acquire 274 acres of land for the airstrip.
