Navi Mumbai airport fate to be decided next year

8/20/2009 11:20:00 AM

New Delhi, August (EPC News): The fate of Navi Mumbai's proposed international airport would be decided early next year after IIT, Bombay, completes a comprehensive study on the environmental impact of the project in the region including a public hearing, the Union environment minister Jairarm Ramesh said.

The study by IIT, Bombay, will have international experts on its panel. “We have not approved the project. But we have only approved the Term of Reference (ToR) for its environmental impact assessment that includes public hearing,” the Union Environment Minister said. The project proponent City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of Maharashtra has also been asked to conduct public hearing as mandated by the law. An expert committee of the Union Ministry last month handed out a long list of ToR to CIDCO to complete before seeking approval for the project. The airport to be spread over 1,615 hectare and having a total area of 2,800 hectare is expected to come up near Panvel, about 35 km from the existing Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, with an investment of around Rs 10,000 crore. The airport is proposed to meet the capacity of 10 million passengers per year which is expected to grow to up to 50 million by 2030.
