[4] Works on a new terminal building to accommodate 150 passengers and an Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower were completed in 2011 at a cost of ₹38 crore (US$4.4 million).

[7] Limited by the runway length, airlines operated smaller 70-seater turboprop aircraft like the ATR-72 and the De Haviland Canada Dash 8-Q400.

The AAI has extended the existing runway from 1,749 metres (5,738 ft) to 3,165 metres (10,384 ft) to enable landing of aircraft like the Airbus A320, Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A321, which was inaugurated by the former Minister of Civil Aviation, Suresh Prabhu, on 12 February 2019.

[11] In December 2023, the Minister of Civil Aviation, Jyotiraditya Scindia, laid the foundation stone for the construction of the new passenger terminal building.

It will have 28 check-in counters and four aerobridges for handling Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 type aircraft, and will be able to serve over 2,100 passengers during peak hours and 3 million passengers annually, which is ten times more than the current capacity of the existing terminal, thus, making it possible for the airport to achieve the target of converting into an international airport.
