Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport, Indore

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, identified by the IATA code IDR, serves as the primary aviation gateway to Central India. Originally established as Indore Airport, the facility was officially renamed on August 17, 2001, to honor the 18th-century Maratha queen Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar. The airport commenced civil operations in July 1948, following its construction by the Holkar State Administration, and stands as the first civil airfield in the region. It currently ranks as the busiest airport in Madhya Pradesh and was the 20th busiest in India by passenger traffic for the 2023-24 fiscal year, handling approximately 3.38 million travelers. Key infrastructure milestones include the inauguration of a modern integrated terminal in February 2012 and the formal designation as an international airport in May 2019. The facility has also gained recognition for its sustainability initiatives, including the installation of a solar power plant and the 2024 launch of a zero-waste plant aimed at making it one of India’s first zero-waste airports. As the commercial and educational capital of the state—notably the only Indian city to host both an IIT and an IIM—Indore utilizes the airport to support its expanding IT sector and its role as a critical transit hub for pilgrims traveling to the nearby religious sites of Ujjain and Omkareshwar.
