CAG starts audit of DIAL, AAI books amid concerns over "irregularities"

New Delhi: Government auditor CAG has started auditing the books of GMR consortium-led DIAL and state-owned Airports Authority of India, amid concerns of alleged irregularities in the leasing of land for the international aerodrome here.
Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd (DIAL) is a joint venture in which 64 per cent is owned by diversified group GMR. The state-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) has 26 per cent shareholding and the remaining 10 per cent is with Germany's Fraport.

"The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit of the accounts of DIAL and AAI has started. It is in progress," Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey told PTI.

The Civil Aviation Ministry had sought audit and all documents required for the exercise were submitted by DIAL to AAI, he added.
The CAG had conducted an audit of the Delhi Airport in 2011 as well.
