As the demand for air travel and cargo handling increases at Vizag Airport , there is a need for a bigger and greater Airport for the newly formed State of Andhra Pradesh. Ministry of Civil Aviation finds it necessary to develop a greenfield new airport at Bhogapuram as the existing one was under control of the Defence Ministry whose priorities are different and there are limitations to landing and cargo handling.

Government of India haven't finalized the timeframe to completion of the project but tabled a development proposal plan.
