The Purandar International Airport project has been revised with land acquisition reduced from 7,000 acres to 3,000 acres. Farmers willing to give land can submit consent letters from August 25 within a 21-day window. In addition to receiving four times the market value in compensation, they will also get 10% of the land that was turned over back as developed plots in the future Aerocity. The airport's passenger and cargo facilities will remain part of this scaled-down plan, and the land acquisition process should be finished in the next six to eight months.

Farmers can submit consent within a 21-day window starting August 25
