MUMBAI: The GMR group-run Delhi International Airport (DIAL) has raised Rs 2,000 crore from real estate monetisation, which will help its on-going expansion plan, as the nation’s largest airport is set to handle over 70 million passenger this fiscal year, a senior executive said Wednesday.
The country’s busiest airport currently handles about 62 million passengers per annum against an installed capacity of 60 million, and 1.5 million tonne of cargo.
The proposed development of the Indira Gandhi International Airport includes expansion of the existing three terminals, adding a new passenger and a cargo terminal each, and building a cargo city/village, apart from development of new runway and taxiway among others at an investment of Rs 16,000 crore.
