Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the updated Udan regional connectivity program at Jodhpur Airport’s new terminal on July 4. He described the initiative as the next phase in India’s domestic aviation development. The Union Cabinet approved the plan in March, providing 28,840 crore rupees for the period from fiscal year 2027 to 2036. The scheme will increase funding and expand airports, yet it functions as a revised strategy based on experiences from the program’s initial ten years rather than a straightforward extension.
