Committee to fast track Navi Mumbai Airport


The Centre has appointed a high-level panel headed by chief secretary Jayant Kumar Banthia to oversee the implementation of the Navi Mumbai international airport (NMIA) project.
The ministry of civil aviation has asked the panel, which will comprise representatives from the Centre and the state government, the Airport Authority of India, and the CIDCO, to take measures for expediting the project implementation.
It will be responsible for preparing and evaluating the bid document for selection of a concessionaire to develop the airport. The panel will also be responsible for making recommendations to the state cabinet for selection of the concessionaire.
With the issue of private land acquisition required for the NMIA yet to be resolved, the committee has been asked oversee the activity, including rehabilitation of those displaced on account of the project.
