The video shows the weather to be sunny VMC, so it's conceivable that the crew could have requested and flown a visual approach with a left base leg over the old airport.
There are no publisshed procedures for the runway 12 , there are for runway 30 . The flight radar below shows the path of a known runway 12 landing . The fateful flight was doing similar approach on the other side .

This New Airport will be equipped with ILS .But will only be operational next month . They made the airbus land with VFR to open the airport .
India has blocked the installation of ILS system due to some overlap at the other new International Airport , GBIA Gautam Buddha International Airport . Flights are currently closed due to consistent bad visibility for jets .
