Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates "Terminal In A Garden" — Terminal-2 of Kempegowda International Airport
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Terminal-2 (T-2) of Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport on 11 November 2022. In first of its kind, the airport has incorporated the concept of a “Terminal-in-a-garden”. The terminal will have lush greenery within and outside and the passengers’ experience is designed to be a walk in the garden. It is designed as a tribute to the garden city of Bengaluru.
Spread over a total area of 2,55,645 square meters, the terminal will have 22 contact gates and nine customs hand baggage screening. The gate lounge will have a seating capacity of 5,953. Phase one of terminal-2 will have 15 bus gates, 90 check-in solutions, and 17 security check lanes and has a capacity of 25 million passengers every year. The estimated construction cost for this terminal is around ₹5,000 crore.
This eco-friendly facility has been built largely using bamboo. One of the biggest attractions in the terminal is the hanging garden. The Airport has already established a benchmark in sustainability with 100% usage of renewable energy across the campus. The facility has been created with sustainability principles woven into the design. Based on the sustainability initiatives, the Terminal-2 will be the largest terminal in the world to be pre-certified platinum rating by US GBC (green building council) prior to commencing operations.
The theme of ‘Naurasa’ unites all the commissioned artworks for Terminal 2. The artworks reflect the heritage and culture of Karnataka as well as the broader Indian ethos.
