IndiGo's single daily link from Hyderabad to the Durgapur–Asansol belt
IndiGo is the only airline flying Hyderabad to Durgapur non-stop. Timetables show one flight on most days, operated by an Airbus A320-family jet rather than a turboprop, with an A321neo reported on the rotation. The flight time is about 2h 10m. Because there is one flight, the departure time is fixed for you: check whether it suits your day before you commit, and remember that any cancellation leaves no same-day non-stop backup. The schedule can shift between summer and winter timetables, so confirm on your date. Search and compare on FlightGPT to see the non-stop beside one-stop options via Kolkata, Delhi or Bengaluru.
Who uses a Hyderabad–Andal flight?
Durgapur and Asansol form one of eastern India's oldest industrial clusters: Durgapur Steel Plant, the Indian Iron and Steel Company works at Burnpur, Eastern Coalfields, power stations and a large engineering college population around NIT Durgapur. Hyderabad, meanwhile, employs thousands of engineers from this belt in its IT corridor. The result is a route driven by IT professionals going home, families visiting, students travelling to and from NIT Durgapur, and engineers moving between plants and head offices. Before this flight, the usual journey was a flight to Kolkata followed by about 170 km by road or rail, so the non-stop removes three or four hours from the trip.
Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport: India's first private greenfield airport
RDP sits at Andal, between Durgapur and Asansol, inside the Bengal Aerotropolis project. It is often described as India's first private greenfield airport, and it is named after the poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, who was born nearby at Churulia. The terminal is compact and arrivals clear quickly. Approximate road distances:
- Durgapur City Centre: about 15 km
- Asansol: about 25–30 km
- Bankura: about 60 km
- Bolpur and Santiniketan: about 60–70 km
Taxis wait for arrivals, but on a one-flight day the queue thins fast, so pre-booking a car is wise, especially for Santiniketan or Bankura.
Leaving Hyderabad: Shamshabad check-in for a midday departure
Rajiv Gandhi International has one integrated terminal for domestic and international flights, so IndiGo's Durgapur flight leaves from the same building as everything else. The airport is roughly 30–35 km from Hitec City and 22–25 km from the old city. Allow an hour by cab from Madhapur or Kondapur in daytime traffic, more in rain. TGSRTC Pushpak buses run from Hitec City, JBS and other points if you prefer a fixed fare. IndiGo's domestic check-in closes 45 minutes before departure for checked bags; using DigiYatra and web check-in will save time at security, which can be slow in the late morning.
IndiGo baggage on the Durgapur flight
IndiGo's standard domestic economy fare includes 15 kg of checked baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item such as a laptop bag. Travellers going home for Durga Puja often carry gifts and food back from Hyderabad, so weigh your bag before leaving: excess baggage paid at the airport costs more than pre-booked extra kilos. Students moving to NIT Durgapur at the start of term should pre-purchase additional baggage online. Power banks must stay in cabin baggage, and IndiGo has tightened rules on using them on board. Pickles and ghee are allowed in checked bags if sealed well.
Durga Puja, Chhath and the dates that fill this flight
With only one flight a day, fares on this route rise quickly when Bengal goes home. The busiest windows are:
- Durga Puja in October, when Hyderabad's Bengali community heads east
- Kali Puja and Diwali, which follow within weeks
- Christmas and New Year, plus the Poush Mela at Santiniketan in December
- The summer school holidays in May and June
For Puja travel, booking well ahead is the only reliable way to get a seat on the non-stop. If it sells out, check one-stop options through Kolkata, where daily capacity from Hyderabad is far larger, then continue by train on the Howrah–Durgapur line.
Backup routes when the non-stop is full
Via Kolkata: Hyderabad–Kolkata has many daily non-stops on several airlines. From Kolkata airport, Durgapur is about 170 km by the Durgapur Expressway, roughly three to four hours by car, or take a train from Howrah. Via Ranchi or Dhanbad side: Ranchi is about 230 km from Asansol, so it rarely helps. By rail: long-distance trains between Secunderabad and Howrah stop at Asansol or Durgapur on some services, taking well over a day. For most travellers, Kolkata plus road is the fallback. Our Durgapur to Hyderabad page covers the return journey.
