<P> While there are 346 civilian airfields in India--253 with paved runways and 93 with unpaved runways, only 132 were classified as "airports" as of November 2014 . Of these, Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi is the busiest in the country . The operations of the major airports in India have been privatised over the past 5 years and this has resulted in better equipped and cleaner airports . The terminals have either been refurbished or expanded . </P> <P> India also has 33 "ghost airports," which were built in an effort to make air travel more accessible for those in remote regions but are now non-operational due to a lack of demand . The Jaisalmer Airport in Rajasthan, for example, was completed in 2013 and was expected to host 300,000 passengers a year but has yet to see any commercial flights take off . Despite the number of non-operational airports, India is currently planning on constructing another 200 "low - cost" airports over the next 20 years . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Length of runways </Th> <Th> Airports with paved runways </Th> <Th> Airports with unpaved runways </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 3,047 m (10,000 ft) or more </Td> <Td> 21 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2,438 to 3,047 m (8,000 to 10,000 ft) </Td> <Td> 59 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1,524 to 2,438 m (5,000 to 8,000 ft) </Td> <Td> 76 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 914 to 1,524 m (3,000 to 5,000 ft) </Td> <Td> 82 </Td> <Td> 38 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Under 914 m (3,000 ft) </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 45 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Total </Td> <Td> 253 </Td> <Td> 93 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Length of runways </Th> <Th> Airports with paved runways </Th> <Th> Airports with unpaved runways </Th> </Tr>
