The Centre said it received no official request from Tamil Nadu to abandon, alter, or relocate the Parandur airport project, despite reports the state government has stalled it. Replying in the Lok Sabha, the ministry said its in-principle approval for the second Chennai airport stands, but no formal withdrawal or relocation request arrived after May 2026, despite protests over farmland and water bodies. Planned across about 4,970 acres in over 13 villages, the project was initiated under the previous DMK government. Reports say Vijay's administration paused land acquisition; any site change requires formal Centre communication.
