Yes, Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) has a designated smoking zone in the departure hall, inside the airport’s single terminal building. The airport’s own carrier-information page lists the zone among its passenger amenities; India’s tobacco law (COTPA) requires any airport smoking facility to be a separately ventilated enclosed room, so the zone is indoors. Which side of the security checkpoint it falls on is not published.
Smoking Zone in the Departure Hall
The smoking zone sits in the departure hall, the section of the single terminal where passengers arrive and check in. Under India’s Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), any smoking facility an airport provides must be an enclosed, separately ventilated room, so this is an indoor cabin rather than an open-air spot. The airport does not publish a gate number, a floor, or which side of the security checkpoint the zone is on, so ask airline ground staff or the terminal information desk if you cannot spot the signage. Udaipur runs one integrated terminal, so the zone serves domestic and any onward-connecting passengers alike.
Vaping at Udaipur Airport
India’s Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act (PECA) 2019 bans e-cigarettes and vapes nationwide, so Udaipur Airport has no vaping equivalent to its departure-hall smoking zone — leave the device at home rather than risk having it confiscated at security.
Summary
