Hyderabad airport (RGIA) at Shamshabad and the land around it: 40 million passenger capacity since 2024, the planned airport city, the airport metro approved in 2026, air-funnel height limits and what plot buyers in Shamshabad, Tukkuguda and Kothur should check.

Buildings near an airport need a height No Objection Certificate from the Airports Authority of India. Around Shamshabad, limits are strictest under the flight paths (the “air funnel”) and relax with distance. Before buying land for a building, check the permissible height for the exact location on the AAI NOCAS portal ↗. Parts of the old HADA area still follow its zoning.
