Plan to start work soon on Mopa airport: GMR Group after SC verdict

GMR Group on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court judgment on Mopa international airport project in Goa and said it plans to start work soon for the new aerodrome.

In a late evening statement, GMR Group said the court has lifted the suspension on environment clearance imposed through an order in March 2019 on construction of new greenfield airport at Mopa.

The commitment of GMR Group to ensure compliance of best practices in maintaining and developing world-class airports has been re-affirmed, it added.

GMR Goa International Airport Ltd (GGIAL), a subsidiary of the group, would be implementing the project.
