1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Jharsuguda town is fast emerging as the economic hub of Odisha. Many small and

medium scale steel units are being set up in the town vicinity. In recent years

Jharsuguda district has witnessed a large scale industrialization, due to which there

is a huge demand for air connectivity.

Jharsuguda airport of Airports Authority of India (AAI) was constructed during

Second World War period with low bearing strength suitable for General Aviation

aircraft. This aerodrome is lying unused for more than three decades except for

occasional use by general aviation aircraft of industrial houses situated at

Jharsuguda and is presently unfit for commercial operations.

In the year 2008, a feasibility study was carried out by AAI to revive Jharsuguda

airport as one of the 32 Non-operational airports. As per the feasibility report by M/s

RITES, it is technically feasible for development of Jharsuguda airport for operations

of wide bodied aircraft with augmentation of facilities, additional land acquisition and

obstruction elimination.

A revised DPR along with feasibility study report, revised EFC memo traffic data of

the airport as well as revenue data with a preliminary estimate of Rs. 96.57 Cr. was

submitted to MOCA for considered proposal of Govt. Budgetary support (GBS) for

development of Jharsuguda Airport from Planning Commission for in-principle

approval.

Govt. of Odisha has requested to operationalize the airport. AAI is considering to

develop Jharsuguda Airport for A-320 type of aircraft operations.

Jharsuguda airport can cater to the population of Jharsuguda, Brajarajnagar and

Belpahar but also to the population of surrounding towns like Sambalpur and Burla

which is 40 km away and Rourkela (about 100 km away) and Sundergarh (35 km

away).

1.1 Project Proponent

Airports Authority of India (AAI) was constituted by an Act of Parliament and came

into being on 1st April 1995. Currently, it manages a total of 125 Airports, which

include 11 International Airports, 08 Customs Airports, 81 Domestic Airports and 25

Civil Enclaves at Defence Airfields.

AAI also provides Air Traffic Management Services (ATMS) over entire Indian Air

Space and adjoining oceanic areas with ground installations at all Airports and 25

other locations to ensure safety of Aircraft operations.

1.3 Need for the Project

Traffic study was conducted by Directorate CP & MS, which indicates the forecast the

movement of aircrafts passengers and cargo from this airport as per Table-1. Traffic

2.6 Water & Power Requirements

Water Requirement

It is estimated that about 200 KLD of water would be required for the entire airport

including residential quarters. The total water requirement for the entire airport will

be provided by Govt of Odisha at free of cost.

Power Requirement

Power required for the entire airport would be 1500 KW which will be provided by

Govt. of Odisha at free of cost.

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between AAI and Govt of Odisha is enclosed

as Annexure-I.

14

2.7 Waste water Generation & management

The wastewater generation mainly consists of sanitary waste, sewage from airport

terminal, flight kitchen, effluent from the workshop etc. The sewage and sanitary

waste from the buildings and airport terminal will be treated in Sewage Treatment

Plant (STP) comprising primary, secondary and tertiary treatment facilities. The

treated wastewater from the STP will be used for air conditioning, cooling water

make-up and green belt development.

It is estimated that about 80 KLD of wastewater will be generated from the proposed

airport. The entire wastewater that is generated from the airport will be recycled and

reused for non potable purposes.

2.8 Solid Waste Management

Solid waste generated from the proposed airport mainly comprises of food waste and

garbage waste. Further, small quantities of sludge from STP, medical waste and

other waste will be generated. Collection and handling of domestic solid waste would

be done in line with the provisions of the Municipal Solid Waste Rules 2000 (as

amended).

3.0 SITE ANALYSIS

3.1 Connectivity

The jharsuguda airport is located approximately at a distance of 5.4 km from

Jharsuguda railway station and about 3.5 km from NH-200. The State Highway (SH-

10) is adjacent on the western side.

Nearest airport is Ranchi, located at about 200 km in the NE side.

3.2 Land form, Land use & Land ownership

The total land required for developing the airport is about 967.5 acres, out of which

about 177.75 acres of land need to be acquired which will be transferred by the Govt

of Odisha.

The remaining 790 acres of land is already under possession of Airports Authority of

India (AAI). Presently only the private or non commercial flights are operating at the

airport.

3.3 Topography

The airport facilities are already existing which need to be strengthened for the

commercial operations. The topography of the proposed terminal building and other

aeronautical facilities is flat.

Presently, proposed site for terminal building consists of bamboo trees which need to

be cut off. Further, the water pond at NE side, adjacent to the runway would require

to be filled up.

15

The additional land required for the airport, needs acquisition by the State Govt. as

per the existing provisions out of which an area of about 9.6 acres is forest land,

which requires forest clearance.

3.4 Proposed Land use pattern

The site proposed for airport development will be converted into commercial

category which is Non-Operational and under NOTAM

There is a proposal for city side development as part of the Phase II.

A residential complex for the essential operational and other staff is also proposed

within the airport boundary.

3.5 Existing Infrastructure

Existing infrastructure details are given in section-2.4.

3.6 Social Infrastructure Available

The existing social infrastructure in the Jharsuguda which is located at about 4.0 km

from the site is:

• Hospital with ambulance;

• Banks;

• Post office;

• Bus station;

• Fire station;

• Secondary school;

• Police station;

• Shopping complex;

• Sports infrastructure (Stadium & Camps etc);

• Community halls;

• Cinema halls; and

• Primary health care centres.

4.0 REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT

About 8 families would be affected due to the proposed project. The relocation of

habitation will be taken up by the Govt of Odisha.

5.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

The proposed project is development of Jharsuguda aiport for A-320 operations

which involves construction of

• Terminal building;

• Technical block and control tower;

• Fire station and work shop;

16

• Car park; and

• other aviation facilities.

Further, strengthening of existing runway, apron and taxiway are also included.

The details are discussed in Section-2.5.

6.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE & PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES

Preliminary estimated cost of work for Development of Jharsuguda Airport is worked

out as Rs. 200 Crores. State Government of Odisha is requested for funding Rs. 75.0

Crores towards this project. Balance shall be arranged by AAI internal resources

7.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Jharsuguda town is fast emerging as the economic hub of Odisha. Many small and

medium scale steel units are being set up in the town vicinity. In recent years

Jharsuguda district has witnessed a large scale industrialization, due to which there

is a huge demand for air connectivity.

Being the economic hub of Odisha, it is essential to have an airport at Jharsuguda

which helps in the development of this area. After completion of airport, Jharsuguda

will be well connected to other cities and other states and will increase the tourist

flow in this region.
