Mumbai: The City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco), the nodal agency for the Navi Mumbai airport project, will initiate the 'request for qualification (RFQ)' process next Wednesday upon which multinational developers are expected to approach it to participate in the bidding. The RFQ issue was hanging fire for over 18 months since an agreement had not been reached with the PAPs.
The civil aviation ministry and the Prime Minister's office have cleared the tender documents, said Cidco vice-chairman and managing director Sanjay Bhatia. "The process will take a year's time. We have decided to go ahead with the RFQ process and simultaneously, negotiations are on with PAPs of six of the total 18 villages who are expected to give their consent for the land acquisition within a year's time."
However, Bhatia clarified that the final request for proposal (RFP) would be issued only after all the PAPs give their consent. Cidco is yet to acquire 260 hectares from these villages. Bhatia also clarified that the rehabilitation package cleared by the state government and PAPs won't be changed further as it is one of the best offered in the country.
