The MoCA stated in a statement November 2

Airport renaming and naming a meticulous process, and the Union Cabinet must give its final permission.

In most cases, airports are identified by the name of the city in which they are found. In some instances, a particular name is suggested by the state government in question, endorsed by a resolution approved by the relevant state legislative assembly.

Following that, the same is forwarded to the Union Cabinet for final approval.

The country’s civil aviation industry has a strong growth potential, thus the government wants to have 220 airports overall by 2030.
