Adanis moot int'l airport
Mundra, is all set to stamp its presence on the global aviation map too. This location in the Gulf of Kutch could well be the first private international airport in the country.
Adani Group, the promoter of Mundra port, has firmed up plans to build an international airport by converting its existing air-strip in the SEZ.
Patel is believed to have come quite close to the Adanis who have also proposed to set up a 1980 MW thermal power plant in his Lok Sabha constituency of Gondia in Maharashtra. Patel has already reciprocated by choosing Federa, located close to the Dholera port and SEZ being developed by the Adanis, as the location for the new international airport for Ahmedabad.
The group has prepared the blueprint for converting the 1,700 metres long airstrip, which is currently being used for private purpose, into a full-fledged airport for passenger as well as cargo traffic.
The Adani plan come on the heels of Union Cabinet approving the civil aviation ministry proposal to allow private airports. Adanis will be submitting a formal proposal to the ministry very soon.
Mundra SEZ has close to 16,000 acres of land in its possession while 16,000 acres more is being acquired. Part of this land will be utilized for the airport development.
An international airport at Mundra makes sense considering that several large industrial units have come up in Kutch taking advantage of the five-year tax holiday that was declared to rebuild Kutch after the 2001 earthquake. More companies are also expected in the Mundra SEZ.
With an international airport, Mundra will have the entire logistic chain - a port, a private railway line and an airport - required for import-export business.
