The construction of this airport was chosen because Ramagundam has an industrial potential with one of the largest thermal power plants run by NTPC. In July 2009, the government scrapped the plans as no companies posted bids for the construction of the airport. The companies believed the construction to be infeasible due to low expectation of revenues. In October 2009, the government has planned to invite fresh bids for 4 airports including Ramagundam airport, to be constructed in . The government has offered additional incentives including exemption from value added taxes and waiver of lease rentals for the first seven years once the airport is operational. In August 2020, Airports Authority of India (AAI) has sought details about six proposed airports including this airport in the state of Telangana. AAI would be conducting a survey for the feasibility of constructing these airports, both infrastructure-wise and in terms of commercial returns.References
