Halwara international airport tender likely to be floated soon

06 Oct 2021 CW Team

The Airports Authorities of India (AAI) is likely to float a tender for the Halwara international airport for its terminal block in a few days.

The superintending engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD), Rakesh Garg, confirmed this development project and indicated that though the Airport Authority of India (AAI) was yet to approve, inviting tender will save the time in awarding the work to a construction agency after approval.

According to the PWD estimates, constructing a temporary Portacabin will cost nearly Rs 20 crore to Rs 25 crore. The authority has already invited bids for the internal roads, apron and regular parking lot at an estimate of Rs 20 crore to Rs 25 crore. PWD has confirmed that the project work is yet to be awarded to an agency, which will be given after getting government approval.

The bids have been invited for the 250 metres taxiway, which will connect the upcoming airport complex with the Halwara Air Force Station's runway at an estimated cost of Rs 20 crore to Rs 21 crore.

According to a PWD officer, the tender for the terminal building will take a month to process and be completed an additional 15 days before awarding the project. He said that the work of the approach road and the boundary wall was over.

According to the AAI sources, the proposal was with their planning department, and it will be produced before AAI's board for final approval. The board members might seek clarifications for the proposals. The authority wishes to have a 2,000 sq metres Portacabin on the site to shift the operations from Sahnewal airport to Halwara airport, where low visible landings are possible. The Halwara airport will have a much longer runway than Sahnewal airport.

The officer added that the airport's terminal complex would have the latest equipment, like Common User Interface Terminal (CUIT) system, inland baggage and face recognition technology to identify passengers. The local business community of the city has waited long for this airport project.
