The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority has approved airport developer CIDCO's amended proposal for the proposed Navi Mumbai airport. "Maharashtra CZMA has approved the new plan.
Following the clearance, the proposal now would be placed before the Expert Appraisal Committee constituted by the Central Government. The Civil Aviation Ministry had given its clearance for the construction of the second airport in Navi Mumbai. Whereas Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh refused to given clearance on the ground of that the proposed airport violates environment norms.
Following this, the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd a nodal agency for the project, was asked to come up with a proposal with suitable changes.
The two ministries, however, recently resolved the issue paving the way for the project. A final call on the issue is expected to be taken only after the Expert Appraisal Committee meeting.
