New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on 11 November inaugurate the Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, doubling the passenger-handling capacity and number of counters for check-in and immigration.

This Airport has already established a benchmark in sustainability with 100 per cent usage of renewable energy across the campus
Terminal 2 has been created with sustainability principles woven into the design.
As part of his visit, PM Modi will also inaugurate the statue of Kempegowda, the founder of Bengaluru, on the premises of the airport.
