The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is likely to float a global tender for the development of an aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar by the end of next week, officials aware of the matter said.
They said that the land is being acquired for developing the MRO facility and a dedicated runway for it at Jewar airport, under the second phase of the airport project. They said that nearly 60 percent of the total land for the project has already been acquired, and the remaining will be acquired soon. A total of 1,365 hectares of land is to be acquired for the second phase of the airport project.
Officials also said that the land allotment process for this purpose is likely to begin by the end of the year.
A YEIDA official said that the land acquisition work under the second phase has been expedited. “Out of 1,365 hectares, nearly 814 hectares of land have already been acquired, which is around 60 percent of the targeted land under the second phase. This land will be used for setting up the MRO facility and a dedicated runway. A global tender for developing the MRO facility is likely to be floated by the end of October,” the official said.
