    Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) recorded a 13% year-on-year increase in coriander handling during the June–November 2025 season, processing a total of 5,904 metric tonnes amid steady growth in India’s domestic agri trade.

    The airport handled steady coriander movement across 22 domestic destinations during the season, reflecting sustained demand. Volumes to northern and central markets increased, with Lucknow, Varanasi and Jaipur registering notable growth.

    Kolkata accounted for the largest share of coriander traffic, followed by Delhi, Bagdogra, Ranchi and Patna, indicating continued demand across eastern and northern consumption centres.

    To support changing demand patterns and expanding domestic corridors, BLR Airport also facilitated coriander shipments to five additional destinations namely Agartala, Agra, Nagpur, Amritsar and Port Blair during the season.

    Overall, the coriander season reflected evolving demand trends and wider domestic connectivity, reinforcing BLR Airport’s role in handling time-sensitive agri-cargo and supporting India’s growing agricultural trade.
