Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia said in response to a question from MP Ravneet Singh during the ongoing Lok Sabha session that the Ministry of Civil Aviation will pay for all ongoing development work at Halwara International Airport (Ludhiana).

In light of the airport's poor progress, Ravneet Singh asked "if it was true that work on Halwara International Airport had been delayed." He had asked about the money available and what the government was doing to complete the project as quickly as possible.

Scindia replied that the construction of the airport was handled by the Punjab Government's Public Works Department (PWD).
