The ATC tower is {{convert|75|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall and has a column-free perimeter to give uninterrupted views of the airfield.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arup.com/Projects/Rajiv_Gandhi_International_Airport.aspx |title=Rajiv Gandhi International Airport &#124; Arup &#124; A global firm of consulting engineers, designers, planners and project managers |publisher=Arup |accessdate=13 February 2012}}</ref>

 

In the second phase of the airport development, Terminal 1 will be expanded to an area of {{convert|260000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} to cater to the growing demand. Post expansion, the terminal building will have 30 stands for aircraft parking. The low-cost terminal will be expanded to its full capacity of 18 million passengers per year.

 

An increase in established facilities such as hotels, offices, cargo and maintenance facilities will be undertaken. The total developed area at the end of this phase will be approximately {{convert|480000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}.

 

The airport will reach its full maturity after the third phase. An additional floor area of {{convert|420000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} will be developed bringing the total built-up area to {{convert|900000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}.

 

The ultimate master plan provides for a capacity of 40 million passengers yearly<ref name="ReferenceC"/> with the accompanying air and ground facilities. Further acquisition of land to the north and south will allow expansion of a third and fourth runway on demand.

 

The state-of-the-art cargo terminal has implemented a concept of an integrated cargo facility housing domestic and international facilities under one roof. The Air Cargo Complex has a built-in area of {{convert|14330|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}. The complex is a modular building with a capacity to handle cargo throughput of 100,000 MT annually. It has dedicated cargo apron facilities for handling regular and freighter operations.<ref>[http://www.hyderabad.aero/business/cargo.html]{{dead link|date=November 2010}}</ref>
