Aerocity: 6 years and counting

New Delhi: Earlier this week, a luxury hotel group hoped to announce the opening of their latest property in Delhi Aerocity, but without a formal date. The announcement has now been put on hold after authorities insisted that the requisite clearances, particularly related to security, were yet to be granted.
The hotel group's dilemma is symptomatic of the delay and intra-government bickering in approving one of the largest projects in the country.
It has been six years since the Central government approved construction of the 'Aerocity', at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). Despite several review meetings and suggestions for adequate security apparatus, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Aviation continue to be at loggerheads, while construction continues undeterred even in the face of uncertainty.
