Bangalore-Karnataka: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will formally open Terminal 2 of Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport on November 11, the official said on Wednesday. 

The opening of T2 will greatly benefit the people by doubling the capacity for handling passengers and adding check-in and immigration desks. With a construction budget of over Rs 5,000 crore, Terminal 2 will increase yearly passenger capacity from 2.5 crore to approximately 5-6 crore.

The passenger experience at Terminal 2 is envisioned to be like taking a "walk in the garden," paying homage to Bangalore's Garden City. The 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens, and outdoor gardens that passengers will pass through were created in India utilising local technology.

This airport has already set a standard for sustainability thanks to its campus-wide use of 100% renewable energy. The design of Terminal 2 incorporates sustainability ideas throughout.

Further, the Karnataka government has started building a sizable Kempegowda-themed heritage park close to the airport. The largest and tallest statue of Kempegowda is now being built, and will stand 108 feet tall. According to reports, the park's construction will cost Rs. 85 crore. A 23-acre parcel of land is where the statue is situated.
