A major urban expansion project is set to transform north Bihar, with plans for a 1,600-acre Mithila Township near Darbhanga Airport gaining momentum. The proposed satellite city will span multiple administrative blocks, creating a well-planned core urban zone aimed at boosting infrastructure, connectivity, and economic activity in the region.

Strategically located close to the airport, the township is expected to benefit from strong road and rail links, enhancing accessibility and attracting investment. Authorities have already initiated strict measures, including restrictions on land sale, purchase, and construction within the designated area, to prevent unregulated development during the planning phase.

Officials say the project aligns with Bihar’s broader vision of planned urbanisation through greenfield developments. Once implemented, the Mithila Township is expected to ease population pressure on existing cities, generate employment opportunities, and establish Darbhanga as a key growth hub in the state.
