"The 12 new terminal buildings will have a combined capacity to serve 620 Lakh passengers annually, while for the three terminal buildings whose foundation stone is being laid, once completed, the combined passenger handling capacity of these airports will increase to 95 Lakh passengers per annum," it stated.
These terminal buildings are equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities and various sustainability features such as an insulated Roofing System, canopies for energy saving, and LED lighting, among others. The designs of these airports are influenced and derived from the common elements of heritage structures of that state and city, thus reflecting the local culture and highlighting the heritage of the region, it added.
One of the key focus areas of Prime Minister Modi has been providing housing for all. Guided by this vision, an innovative means to achieve this has been the conceptualization of the Light House Project, according to the release from the PMO.
He will inaugurate the Light House Project (LHP) in Lucknow and Ranchi, as part of which more than 2000 affordable flats have been built with modern infrastructure. The innovative construction technology employed in these LHPs will give the families a sustainable and futuristic living experience.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated similar light house projects in Chennai, Rajkot and Indore. The foundation stone of these LHPs was laid by the Prime Minister on January 1, 2021.
For Ranchi LHP, Germany's Precast Concrete Construction System--3D Volumetric technology has been adopted. A unique feature of LHP Ranchi is that each room has been made separately and then the entire structure has been added, like Lego Blocks toys. LHP Lucknow has been constructed using Canada's Stay-In-Place PVC Formwork with a Pre-Engineered Steel Structural System.
