Description
Launched in 2016, UDAN aimed to make air travel affordable and connect smaller cities. Its first flight, Shimla-Delhi, took off in 2017, and 663 routes now connect 95 airports, heliports and water aerodromes. But CAG found 403 of 774 UDAN-3 routes never started.
Only 112 routes completed the three-year concession period, while just 54 continued afterward. More than ₹4,023 crore has been spent on VGF, with ₹10,000 crore more proposed under modified UDAN and ₹28,840 crore allocated for regional connectivity over the next 10 years.
