	In 2008, the government of undivided Andhra Pradesh invited for expressions of interest to develop eight minor airports in the state, including an airport at Nizamabad. Each airport was expected to cost {{INRConvert\|50\|c\|year=2008}}.

	In July 2009, the government has scrapped the plans as no companies posted bids for the construction of the airport. The companies sought the construction to be infeasible due to low expectation of revenues. In October 2009, the government has planned to invite fresh bids for 4 airports including Nizamabad airport, to be constructed in {{Convert\|500\|acre\|km2\|abbr=on}}. The government has offered additional incentives including exemption from value added taxes and waiver of lease rentals for the first seven years once the airport is operational.<ref>{{Cite news\|date=2 October 2009\|title=Andhra to invite bids for 4 airports with new incentives\|work=Mint\|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/hLC4Cp6ZwP7ahEUnNrAolM/Andhra-to-invite-bids-for-4-airports-with-new-incentives.html\|url-status=live\|access-date=27 March 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210404115855/https://www.livemint.com/Politics/hLC4Cp6ZwP7ahEUnNrAolM/Andhra-to-invite-bids-for-4-airports-with-new-incentives.html\|archive-date=4 April 2021}}</ref> The [[Indian Air Force]] (IAF) had also objected to the proposal citing disruption of military aircraft movements due to commercial air activity.<ref>{{Cite news\|date=24 November 2009\|title=Airports at Nizamabad, Ramagundam unlikely\|work=The Times of India\|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Airports-at-Nizamabad-Ramagundam-unlikely/articleshow/5263081.cms\|url-status=live\|access-date=19 April 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909130405/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Airports-at-Nizamabad-Ramagundam-unlikely/articleshow/5263081.cms\|archive-date=9 September 2015}}</ref>		In July 2009, the government has scrapped the plans as no companies posted bids for the construction of the airport.

The [[Airports Authority of India]] (AAI) inspected the {{Convert|1200|acre|km2|adj=on}} site and gave its approval for the site in June 2013. However, AAI asked for a total of {{Convert|1500|acre|km2}} to accommodate all necessary airport infrastructure. The cost of construction of the airport would be borne by the state government.<ref>{{Cite news|last=P|first=Ram Mohan|date=7 June 2013|title=More land required for airport at Jakranpally|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/more-land-required-for-airport-at-jakranpally/article4788933.ece|url-status=live|access-date=19 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200226070214/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/more-land-required-for-airport-at-jakranpally/article4788933.ece|archive-date=26 February 2020}}</ref>

However, in March 2015, the government of Telangana asked its infrastructure and investment department to put the development of Nizamabad airport on hold due to lack of funds and restrictions imposed on developing new airports within {{Convert|150|km|abbr=on}} radius of [[Rajiv Gandhi International Airport]] at Hyderabad. Development of the airport would be considered at a later date.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Konde|first=Mahesh|date=26 March 2015|title=Telangana govt to take up only three airports for now|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Telangana-govt-to-take-up-only-three-airports-for-now/articleshow/46695296.cms|url-status=live|access-date=19 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226090038/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Telangana-govt-to-take-up-only-three-airports-for-now/articleshow/46695296.cms|archive-date=26 February 2021}}</ref>

Later in 2016, the government has finalised proposals for new airports in the state. Chief Minister [[K. Chandrasekhar Rao]] has given his nod for land acquisition for setting up airport in Nizamabad. Doubts were raised over securing approval for the airport since it cannot meet the norms of having a minimum aerial distance of {{Convert|125|km|abbr=on}} another airport which is already [[Warangal Airport|proposed in Warangal]].<ref>{{cite news|last=L|first=Venkat Ram Reddy|date=26 February 2016|title=Telangana govt finalise proposals for setting up new airports plan|publisher=Deccan Chronicle|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/260216/telangana-govt-finalise-proposals-for-setting-up-new-airports-plan.html|url-status=live|access-date=19 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303202451/https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/260216/telangana-govt-finalise-proposals-for-setting-up-new-airports-plan.html|archive-date=3 March 2020}}</ref> In 2017, the government has proposed the construction of the airport in {{Convert|1161|acre|km2}}.<ref>{{Cite news|date=27 October 2017|title=Telangana government to establish airport in Nizamabad district|work=Telangana Today|url=https://telanganatoday.com/telangana-government-establish-airport-nizamabad-district|url-status=live|access-date=19 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220071348/https://telanganatoday.com/telangana-government-establish-airport-nizamabad-district|archive-date=20 February 2020}}</ref>
