Mumbai: Cidco, the nodal body overseeing the planned Navi Mumbai airport plans to extend by more than a month, the time for companies to respond to the request for qualifications (RFQs) for the project. The date has been extended to July 30 from June 18, so that the interested companies can submit their audited accounts for the last financial year ended March 31.
"The proposal is one among several proposed by companies at the pre-bid meeting for the airport project," Cidco's managing director Sanjay Bhatia told ET. He said it has been approved by the project monitoring and implementation committee and has now gone to the civil aviation ministry for approval.
In all 20 companies, including GMR, Mumbai International Airport, Tata Realty and Infrastructure Projects and Spanish airport operator Ferrovial, were part of the pre-bid meeting which happened on April 2.
Separately, Cidco has also floated a tender for interested contractors to prepare the land for construction of the airport. The site currently has small hills that need to be cleared and a river that is to be diverted. Planned as an alternate to the clogging Mumbai airport, the Rs 14,573-crore Navi Mumbai airport project is likely to be completed in four phases.
