The Investment Board had given Zurich time to submit a detailed proposal for the construction of the airport by Falgun 18, 2076. . Zurich had asked for time at that time for various reasons and was given the last time until Ashwin 14, 2077.

The government had mentioned in the policy and program of the current year that the construction of Nijgadh International Airport will be started.
