Kalyana Karnataka Business Leaders Lobby for Development in New Delhi

KALABURAGI, December 18, 2025 – A delegation from the Kalyana Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCI) concluded a series of meetings in New Delhi this week, advocating for crucial development initiatives in the Kalyana Karnataka region.

Led by President Sharanabasappa M. Pappa and Honorary Secretary Shivraj V. Inginshetty, the delegation met with Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and Union Minister for Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy during the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.

The KKCCI’s primary focus was on two key issues: the immediate restoration of flight services to and from Kalaburagi and the revival of struggling industries in Shahabad. The suspension of flights has significantly hampered trade, industry, healthcare access, and overall connectivity in the region, according to the KKCCI.

During the meeting, Mr. Kharge assured the delegation of his support and informed them that he had already raised the issue with the Union Minister for Civil Aviation.

The delegation also pressed for the revival of ailing industrial units and proposed the development of an industrial corridor in the Kalaburagi region to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities.

Both Mr. Kharge and Mr. Kumaraswamy pledged to assist in securing an appointment with the Union Minister for Civil Aviation to further discuss the restoration of flights to Kalaburagi.

The KKCCI expressed gratitude for the leaders’ support and affirmed its commitment to continued engagement with the Union government to promote inclusive development in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
