high

Pantnagar expansion planning/land transfer, Naini Saini AAI takeover for larger aircraft, and Gauchar heli-service activity are verified, but all three facilities being fully refurbished with additional regular flights is not yet complete. There is substantial progress on air connectivity, but the promise covers three facilities and sustained additional operations, which are not fully verified. Budget: Pantnagar expansion planning and Naini Saini transfer verified; no three-site refurbishment budget isolated.
