Greater Noida(Infrastructure Desk):Kings Infra Ventures Ltd. has proudly welcomed the inauguration of the new terminal at Tuticorin Airport, calling it a defining milestone in the infrastructure transformation of South Tamil Nadu. Dedicated to the nation by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the terminal is expected to accelerate Tuticorin’s emergence as a major coastal growth engine for India.
The state-of-the-art terminal supports wide-body aircraft, facilitates night landings, and can handle up to 1,400 passengers per hour. It positions Tuticorin as a new global gateway, enhancing air connectivity and complementing the city’s expanding infrastructure landscape.

The airport terminal is just one part of Tuticorin’s massive transformation, which includes several key projects:
-
₹7,056 crore VOC Port expansion into a transshipment and green energy hub
-
ISRO’s upcoming second spaceport at Kulasekarapattinam (1,200 acres)
-
VinFast EV manufacturing facility
-
Smart City and Export Excellence Zone
-
Green hydrogen and offshore wind energy investments
-
Power surplus district with an installed capacity of 4,175 MW
These developments are turning Tuticorin into a dynamic hub for logistics, clean energy, technology, and exports — drawing comparisons with global coastal success stories like Dubai and Singapore.
Kings Infra’s Deep Roots in Tuticorin
