Devanahalli — India's Fastest Growing Airport Corridor
Devanahalli hosts Kempegowda International Airport (KIAL) — one of India's fastest-growing airports handling 37+ million passengers annually. The KIADB Aerospace Park adjacent to the airport is India's largest aerospace SEZ, attracting Airbus, Boeing suppliers, HAL subsidiaries and precision engineering companies manufacturing aerospace components. This aerospace cluster is expected to be the largest engineering employer in Bangalore Rural district over the next decade.
For NCET Mechanical and EEE Engineering students, the Devanahalli aerospace corridor provides directly relevant local industry exposure — plant visits, industry lectures from aerospace professionals and potential internship access that students at colleges in other parts of Bangalore cannot match. Civil Engineering students have direct exposure to the massive airport infrastructure and aerospace park construction activity happening within 5 km of campus.
