For handling cargo up to 0.25 million tonnes a year, a cargo complex will be constructed at CCSIA in a total area of 23.14ha.

The expansion project is expected to create around 2,000 jobs during its construction phase, and around 25000 jobs upon becoming operational.

In November 2020, Adani Group acquired CCSIA from the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

As per earlier reports, Adani Group is set to invest around $1bn (Rs100bn) in Ahmedabad Airport between 2023 and 2027 to grow the passenger handling capacity of the airport by three-fold.
