Airport Upgrade Sparks 8% Rise in Plot Inquiries

The expansion of the runway at Agatti Airport is driving an 8% increase in demand for nearby commercial plots, now priced between ₹1,700 and ₹2,700 per sq ft. The enhanced airport connectivity is expected to improve tourist flow and logistics capacity across the island.

Local real estate agents report a spike in inquiries from hospitality brands, retail operators, and logistics firms seeking to establish a presence near the upgraded airport zone. The improved infrastructure is seen as a catalyst for Agatti’s broader economic and real estate growth.

With the island’s strategic position in Lakshadweep and limited available land, stakeholders believe the momentum will sustain, especially for commercial and tourism-related developments.
