SC upholds GMR Infra winning bid to modernise & operate Nagpur airport
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed appeals against a Bombay high court that had upheld the granting of concession rights of Nagpur airport to the GMR Group.
The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court last year directed the multi-modal international cargo hub and airport at Nagpur, or Mihan, to execute the concession agreement with GMR Airports for the upgradation and operation of the Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in the city.
A JV between Maharashtra Airport Development Company and Airports Authority of India, Mahan India had in 2020 cancelled the award to GMR Group as the Maharashtra government was not satisfied with the revenue share quoted by GMR in the tender. Mihan had then decided to issue a fresh tender.
