GoM on Greater Noida airport to meet on June 16

A long-pending proposal of the Uttar Pradesh government to set up a greenfield international airport at Greater Noida will come up for discussion before a Group of Ministers on Wednesday.
"The GoM on Greater Noida airport will meet on June 16," Patel, who was in Berlin to attend the International Air Transport Association Summit, told PTI.
The UP government wants the airport, proposed to be named as the Taj International Aviation Hub, to come up at Jhevar near Greater Noida which is about 60 kms from Delhi and 120 kms from Agra.
Chief Minister Mayawati's government has identified 1,500 hectares for the project, which is estimated, to cost about Rs 5,000 crore and submitted a techno-economic feasibility report to the Centre.
The GoM on Jhevar airport is headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram and has Law Minister Veerappa Moily, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh and Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel as its members.
