Mumbai: The public accounts committee of Parliament has said outsourcing of non-aeronautical services by Delhi International Airport Ltd put additional burden on passengers, in the form of development fee, and deprived the Airports Authority of India of revenue.
The committee, headed by Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Murli Manohar Joshi, also cri ticised the civil aviation ministry for not monitoring the project cost of the Delhi airport.
The panel tabled its report in Parliament on Thursday.
It questioned the extension of concession period of the Delhi airport lease period from 30 to 60 years. The commercial exploitation of Delhi airport land and creation of 11 joint ventures by GMR-led Delhi International Airport Ltd for non-aeronautical business has come under the committee’s scrutiny, as it has had an adverse impact on the Airports Authority of India’s share in revenue from the project. Under the bid terms, DIAL shares 45.99 per cent of its gross revenue with AAI. The committee noted the original project cost approved by DIAL and communicated to AAI in 2008 was Rs 8,975 crore.
