Pune airport gets Defence approval

The State government has received clearance from the Ministry of Defence for preparing a project report of the proposed international airport near Pune.

German company Dorsch is preparing the detailed project report (DPR), and will also develop the airport at Purandar, a revenue official said. “The work was slow as necessary permissions from the defence ministry were pending. The permissions were received a couple of days ago.”

“The primary estimated cost of the airport is Rs. 14,000 crore. Once the report is completed, we will know the actual cost,” he said.

The airport, which is expected to take around five years to complete, will be spread across 2,400 hectares. The acquisition of land will take place in seven villages of Purandar tehsil. According to Pune District Collector Saurabh Rao, the land acquisition cost will be Rs. 2,000 crore.
