Donyi Polo Airport at Hollongi, Arunachal Pradesh was inaugurated in 2022 as the State’s first greenfield airport. ([timesofindia.indiatimes.com](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/pm-modi-arunachal-donyi-polo-airport-inauguration-greenfield/articleshow/95616867.cms?utm_source=openai)) Kushinagar International Airport in Uttar Pradesh was conceived and built on 590 acres as a greenfield project, opened in 2021. ([timesofindia.indiatimes.com](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/up-pm-modi-inaugurates-kushinagar-international-airport/articleshow/87151111.cms)) Vijayawada (Gannavaram) airport, by contrast, is an older airstrip that has been expanded—i.e., a brownfield upgrade—and is therefore not a greenfield project. Hence only 1 and 2 satisfy the condition.
