There has been absolutely no progress in expanding the airport. The airport will a building where CISF security can live, near the airport, and also multi-level parking building will be constructed. All the projects have been stuck in the land acquisition stage. The PWD are also thinking about constructing a 6 lane road to the airport to help travellers to travel quickly to the airport. This has not been approved yet. Indore's divisional commissioner has told officials to quicken up the land acquisition process, but we have no idea when it'll be done

No, as usual the government are delaying this project. There are plans to expand the runway length from 7000 feet to 9000 feet. Bigger airplanes can land if the runway is extended. There has been some issues with land acquisition which is why there is a delay. Around 137 acres of land has been acquired by the government, but they will need to acquire more land before expanding the airport. Apart from increasing the length of the runway, there are plans to add a new terminal building, and construct six new parking terminals.
