On October 27, 2021, Krishi Udan Scheme 2.0 was announced, expanding existing provisions and focused mostly on transporting perishable food goods from mountainous areas, North-Eastern states, and tribal territories. Airports Authority of India (AAI) provides full waiver of landing, parking, Terminal Navigational Landing Charges (TNLC), and Route Navigation Facility Charges (RNFC) for Indian freighters and P2C (Passenger-to-Cargo) aircrafts for 25 airports focusing on North Eastern and hilly region, and 28 airports in other regions/areas to incentivize movement of agri-produce by air transportation.
The Krishti Undan Scheme covers 29 states and has no set budget. Krishi Udan Scheme is a convergence scheme where eight Ministries/Departments use their existing plans to improve the logistics for transporting agricultural products. The major goal is to expand the share of air transportation in the modal mix for agri-produce transportation, which includes horticulture, fishery, livestock, and processed products.
