GMR opens Bhogapuram airport, creating a new retail and logistics gateway near Visakhapatnam
GMR Airports has inaugurated Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, with first-phase capacity of 6 million passengers a year. The integrated airport project adds future potential for travel retail, F&B, cargo and last-mile logistics across the Visakhapatnam-Vizianagaram corridor.
GMR Airports inaugurated Bhogapuram’s Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport near Visakhapatnam, creating an airport retail, cargo and logistics hub with initial capacity for 6 million passengers annually and planned expansion to 40 million.
Why this matters
GMR’s Bhogapuram opening follows its launch-readiness signal and complements its Nagpur expansion, including a 100-hectare Aerocity retail plan. It adds another airport-led retail and logistics node as GMR explores Delhi land monetisation.
