Mumbai: The state government has given its approval to the development plan for the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA). The gazette notification for the interim development plan, which was to be implemented between 2010 and 2013, was issued last week.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 10,000 crore and includes the development of terminals, airside and part of landside. "But it does not include drains, metro, etc. Maintenance, augmentation, development of city-level infrastructure networks and services and related future projects within the CSIA notified area need to be funded by local authorities, the state government and private agencies,'' states the development plan.
Only slums spread over 104 acres on the eastern side will be shifted for the expansion of the aeronautical area. This area is spread over Kurla, Kirol, Mohili and Asalpha. A major portion is to be developed as green open space, particularly along and below the flight path.
