Top infrastructure companies, including a foreign player, have bid to build and operate the second airport of Delhi in Jewar (UP), around 40km from Indira Gandhi International Airport. Sources aware of the development said Adani Group, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Canada-based Fairfax Financial Holdings, and Zurich Airport had bid for the project, which when fully functional, would entail an investment of Rs 15,000 crore. DIAL is operated by GMR Infrastructure.
The technical bids will be opened on November 6, followed by the opening of financial bids on November 29.
“We have seen a good response. Four firms have submitted bids, which is very encouraging since Jewar is a greenfield airport. The bidding will be made on per passenger basis, and will be completed in a single stage.
