Zurich AG submits master plan of Jewar airport to govt

Greater Noida: Zurich AG, the concessionaire appointed to develop and operate the Jewar international airport, has submitted its master plan to Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL). The special purpose vehicle will go through the plan and also get it vetted by regulatory bodies as well as the Union civil aviation ministry before unveiling the same next year.

Yamuna International Airport Pvt Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Zurich AG, shared the master plan outlining the development of the airport on Thursday evening. The company will bring in capital investments worth over Rs 5,000 crore.

“It will take some time to go through the master plan and building design. It will be forwarded to the UP government as well as the Union government for scrutiny. In case some revision or rectification is required as per the industry norms, Zurich AG will be asked to update the plan,” said Arun Vir Singh, CEO of NIAL.

The master plan will be forwarded to Union ministry of civil aviation, directorate general of civil aviation and Airports Authority of India for further examination and vetting. Once the regulatory bodies and the ministry go through the submissions and provide their feedback to NIAL, Zurich AG will be given the green signal to go ahead with the plan.
