Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Punjab on February 1, 2026, to rename Adampur Airport to 'Sri Guru Ravidas Ji Airport' in honor of the saint's 649th birth anniversary and inaugurate a new terminal at Halwara Airport in Ludhiana. The renaming acknowledges Sant Guru Ravidas Ji's legacy of equality and compassion.

The new terminal at Halwara will enhance regional connectivity, accommodating larger aircraft like the A320, and incorporates sustainable features such as LED lighting and rainwater harvesting. The project represents an investment in civil aviation infrastructure in Punjab, which also houses a significant Indian Air Force base. Modi's visit aligns with the government's focus on improving air connectivity and modernizing infrastructure in key states.
