Reduction of the Vedanta Univ land requirement comes from eliminating the airstrip
The reduction of the Vedanta Univ land requirement comes from eliminating the airstrip that was part of the original plan. This is mentioned in Pragativadi’s report on the topic. Following are some excerpts.
The group has also decided to withdraw its proposed airstrip inside the proposed varsity premises.

But as the state government faced problems in the land acquisition, the Group has decided to withdraw its proposed airstrip within the proposed varsity premises while agreeing for 6270 acres of land of which 5,500 acre are private lands and the rest 770 acres are government lands.
This is a good compromise on the part of Vedanta. In 10-15 years the Bhubaneswar area will need a bigger airport and at that time it could be made closer to Puri and thus serve Vedanta University adequately.
However, both the Orissa government and the Vedanta University people must take steps to have international flights from/to Bhubaneswar. Without that there will be a problem for Vedanta University to recruit top researchers and research companies.
