The Rajkot International Airport has been developed in a total land area of more than 2,500 acre, at an estimated cost of over Rs 1,400 crore.

The terminal building is GRIHA-4 compliant (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), and the New Terminal Building (NITB) is equipped with various sustainability features such as double insulated roofing system, skylights, LED Lighting, low heat gain glazing, etc.
Rajkot’s cultural vibrancy has inspired the design of the terminal of the airport, and it will depict art forms from Lippan art to Dandiya dance through its dynamic external façade and splendid interiors. The airport will be the epitome of the local architectural heritage and will reflect the cultural glory of art and dance forms of the Kathiawar region of Gujarat. The new airport in Rajkot will contribute not only towards the development of the local automobile industry of Rajkot but will also encourage trade, tourism, education and industrial sectors throughout Gujarat.
