Mumbai: With the in-principle approval for the Rs2,000-crore Juhu aerodrome redevelopment plan in place, the government will soon invite bids to appoint a design consultant, aviation ministry sources said.
The in-principle approval was announced last Friday after a meeting between the officials of civil aviation ministry, the Airports Authority, Maharashtra government and the city's development agency MMRDA, apart from the Mumbai airport.
"We will shortly invite bids from interested parties to present us a detailed design plan," officials said in Mumbai, adding that KPMG had already done the concept part of project.
A meeting is also expected to take place next week with Slum Rehabilitation Authority to discuss plans for shifting the thousands of shanties within the Juhu aerodrome limits.
