Coup for Bahrain company as New Delhi airport opens

A new ultra-modern $3 billion airport terminal in the Indian capital New Delhi, has its footing on firm ground, literally, courtesy of the Kingdom-based mining major Bramco Group.
Bramco, a mining and stone company, laid the granite flooring for the sprawling 5.4 million square feet terminal, carving out the mountains of Saudi Arabia and processing a staggering 500 square metres of stone everyday at its factory in Bahrain.
Touted to be the world's secondlargest airport terminal in size and sixth in terms of capacity, the ninelevel hub which opened yesterday can handle 34 million passengers per annum.
Complete with the granite floors imported from Bahrain, huge white columns fitted with expensive speakers, 63 elevators, 95 immigration counters and a state of the art security and baggage system, Terminal 3 is also home to India's first transit hotel.
The Bahrain mining and stone company won the bid to handle all the stonework design and installation for the flooring, the lifts and lobby areas in the face of fierce competition.
