Mumbai: While Maharashtra government has put rumours about contemplating shifting the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) project to another location in the wake of increasing cost to rest, officials from City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) have said something to worry people. They claim that delays in acquiring land for the airport and accepting the pending demands of project affected persons (PAPs) are affecting the ambitious project greatly.
“Over 10 years were wasted holding discussions about the project due to which the total project cost escalated to Rs15,000 crore from Rs4,000 crore. If the process is delayed further then the project will become financially unfeasible, and chances are there that the project might not happen,” Cidco joint managing director V Radha said while interacting with villagers from Chinchpada on Monday.
