Terminal 2 of KIA

The Prime Minister, inaugurated Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport at Bengaluru on 11-11-22.
Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru is built at a cost of around Rs. 5000 crores.
The terminal will double the passenger handling capacity of the airport to 5-6 crore passengers per annum, from the current capacity of about 2.5 crores.
Terminal 2 is designed as a tribute to the Garden city of Bengaluru and the passenger experience is meant to be a “walk in the garden”.
Passengers will travel through 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens and outdoor gardens.
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.
