HYDERABAD : GVK has won the bid for developing Mumbai’s second international airport, outbidding GMR Infrastructure. GVK already operates the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai International Airport has been proposed outside Mumbai city to cater to the growing air passengers and ease congestion at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. According to the City and Industrial Development Corporation, the second airport will have an area of 2,867 acres with a terminal building of 5,23,000 square metres and two runways.
G V K Reddy, executive chairman of Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), a subsidiary of GVK, and founder chairman and managing director of GVK, said, “It is a matter of pride for MIAL and GVK to have won the bid for building, developing and operating the Greenfield Navi Mumbai International Airport project.
This is further testimony to our commitment that was ably demonstrated in the making of the iconic Terminal 2, along with the creation of efficient airside operations in a severely constrained Mumbai airport. We shall remain committed towards creating, designing and managing yet another state-of-the-art airport, and deliver a world class gateway from Navi Mumbai to the world.”
