CAG report on leasing land to DIAL grossly misleading: Ministry

New Delhi: Civil Aviation Ministry has hit back at Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) for reportedly holding that government would suffer a loss of Rs 1.63 lakh crore by leasing out land to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) at concessional rate, saying it was "grossly misleading".
The Ministry has also said that the CAG, during a single round of discussion with its officials, had not referred to several issues including those relating to land, aeronautical and non-aeronautical services or bid conditions.
However, these issues had found their way in the draft CAG report even when many of them were either not discussed or the Ministry was not given an opportunity to clarify, Civil Aviation Secretary Nasim Zaidi is understood to have said in a communication to CAG Vinod Rai.
