Navi Mumbai International Airport | Proposed

[Bombay Boy]

no main airport from what i gather. the present one will run at full capacity and the new one will take up whatever new capacity it can. no plans to scale down the present one or shut it down

might as well. the new one will be extremely far from the western suburbs

NEW DELHI: The bidding process for the Navi Mumbai airport is likely to be over by 2008, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said here on Tuesday.

"The Maharashtra government-run company CIDCO, which is developing the airport, is appointing a technical consultant. The Union Cabinet has already given in-principle approval to the project. By next calendar year, the bidding process should be completed," Patel told reporters here.

Asked about the issuance of Initial Public Offer by the newly formed state-owned National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL), he said "we will review the merger (of Air India and Indian) after six months and then take a call."

He said decisions on the IPO or stock options to employees and such issues would be taken keeping in view the market environment prevailing then. "We will give a new direction to the merged entity, Air India."

To questions relating to the new concept of regional airlines, Patel said several applications have been filed.

"The Ministry will examine them. There are certain formalities. We have to look at their business plans and financial viability."

On allowing higher percentage of FDI in different areas of the aviation sector, he said proposal to enhance the FDI cap from 49 to 74 per cent was before the Cabinet and in some cases, like operation of sea-planes, the proposal is to do away with the cap.

Master Plan for Navi Mumbai Airport - CIDCO



Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA)


Enhancement in aviation facilities in Mumbai is absolutely essential for keeping the leadership of Maharashtra in attracting Foreign Direct Investment thereby creating a place of pride for itself and add to the prosperity of its people. Therefore a second airport in the Mumbai Region has become imperative, as the existing airport at Mumbai, is fast reaching saturation level. To meet the growing demand of air travel CIDCO is soon going to develop a new airport.

The location of the proposed airport at Navi Mumbai has been considered on several parameters. Prominent among these is the fact that Navi Mumbai is expected to absorb the future growth in population, business and commercial activity of the region. The availability of physical and social infrastructure coupled with environmental friendly site with minimum resettlement and rehabilitation makes the Navi Mumbai airport project technically and financially viable.

The airport would be one of world's few ''greenfield'' international state-of-art airport offering world class facilities to passengers cargo, aircrafts and airlines.

The site of airport is located in an area of 1140 hectares accommodating two parallel runways for independent parallel operation with provision of full length taxi ways on either side of the runways. The airfield has been designed to accommodate the new large aircrafts compatible to aerodrome code 4-F, conforming to specifications of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Navi Mumbai International Airport will support the rapidly growing air travel needs of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. It is expected to absorb annually 10 million passengers in its first operational year 2012, doubling to 20 million by 2020 followed by 30 million passengers in 2025 and ultimately 40 million by 2030.

The Navi Mumbai Airport is proposed to be developed through public-private participation in which CIDCO/AAI will hold 26% equity and rest will by held by private developer to be raised through public bidding.

The growth in resident population in Navi Mumbai, rapid development of its Central Business District, coupled with economic activities such as Special Economic Zone, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, Thane-Belapur and Taloja industrial areas and the huge catchment area ranging from Pune to South Mumbai would assure a steady growth rate in traffic at the new airport, thus assuring steady revenues to the investors. In addition the project opens-up the state’s vast hinterland rich in agriculture, floriculture, hi-tech high value industries to world market. Thus making the airport to act as a focal point for emergence of a transshipment centre in the Asian region.

The SPC would also be entitled to special benefits/incentives currently available on infrastructure development projects. The SPC mission would be to build and operate airport that will become exemplary worldwide based on top quality services, high safety standards and above all commitment to customer satisfaction.

The proposal of development of Navi Mumbai Airport is under active consideration of Ministry of civil aviation G.O.I. and recently ‘in-principle’ approval have been granted by Union Cabinet G.O.I.. Accordingly CIDCO has initiated the necessary studies such as master plan, detail project report etc. to enable to prepare procurement documents to initiate the bidding process and complete the same within 15 to 18 months, so as to commence the construction of airport from late 2008 and open the airport for operation by late 2012.

REL may bid for Rs 4,500-cr sea link today

15 Dec, 2007, 1152 hrs IST,Nevin John, TNN Economic Times

MUMBAI: Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Energy (REL) plans to submit detailed technical and financial bid for Rs 4,500-crore sea link between Sewri and Nhava Sheva—Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) on Saturday.

The Sea King Infrastructure (SKIL)-led consortium , owned by Mukesh Ambani and associates which submitted bid last year, is the only contender for the country’s longest sea link expressway.

The nodal agency for the bid, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), is expected to award the project by February 2008 to the lowest bidder.

The consortium, which quotes the lowest concession period—the number of years the developer can collect the toll—should also explain how it proposes to recover cost of construction with interest . After the concession period, the asset will be handed over to the government.

The implementation of the 22.5-km six-lane project is based on design, build, own, operate and transfer (DBOOT) basis. The toll rate, which is defined in the proposal, will be revised every three years according to the wholesale price index (WPI).

In 2006, REL had teamed up with Korean engineering major Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company for bidding the project but it failed qualify. While the SKIL consortium, which includes IL&FS , John Laing Construction and Laing O Rourke qualified for bid along with Larsen and Toubro-Gammon consortium and IFFCO-ITD consortium . The L&T and Iffco led consortiums had decided to back out of the bid after being qualified.

The REL-Hyundai consortium was disqualified by MSRDC on the grounds of not meeting financial criteria. Later, the consortium had filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court, but it was dismissed. In June 2007, the consortium had filed a special leave petition against MSRDC in the Supreme Court. The Court had cleared the decks for REL and Hyundai in September 2007, and granted 90 days—ending on December 15—for submitting its bid.

REL sources confirmed that the consortium would submit the bid as the time limit allowed by the court is ending on Saturday.

The sea link is important for Mukesh Ambani as he is out to build two sprawling special economic zones (SEZs) across 14,000 hectares in Navi Mumbai and Maha Mumbai. MTHL will be the major connectivity for SEZs to the mainland.


To raise Rs 5,000 cr from global markets

REL has decided to seek shareholders approval to enhance the authorised share capital by Rs 100 crore to Rs 1,950 crore, reports Our Bureau from Mumbai. With this, the equity shares will increase to 35 crore from the existing 25 crore. The company also plans to raise Rs 5,000 crore from international market through global depository receipts (GDRs) or American depository receipts (ADRs) or foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs). The company is considering preferential allotment of up to 4.3 crore shares or warrants to the promoters. Last week, the company had announced a preferential offer at 5% premium to the market price.

The consultant for the NM airport has yet to be appointed. They (the consultant group) are the ones who will prepare the DPR for the airport including the master plan. Till we don't hear anything from the media and the consultants, all other master plans (including the one by CIDCO) are bogus.

Possible , but this information is from CIDCO's website. Maybe be they haven't updated the page.

The Navi Mumbai Airport is for Navi Mumbai and Chhatrapati Shivaji is for the original Mumbai. Either that, or both cities would have to use each other's airports (if a bridge connected those cities).

[devind]

Do we know of any International Airport which resemble this model.?
I thought most of the new airports have Terminal Building in the middle and the
runways on both sides, which makes the connectivity between the terminals much easier
in case one want to divide as (Domestic vs International). The one specified in this model
is much more difficult to link.
