SC Demands Ministry's File on Nagpur Ambedkar Airport Tender Process

The Supreme Court has directed the Ministry of Civil Aviation to submit its file notings on the tender process related to the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur. This request comes as part of an ongoing inquiry into the airport's tendering procedures, ensuring transparency and accountability in the process.

The court's order is aimed at reviewing the fairness of the tender process, which has come under scrutiny due to allegations of irregularities. The tender pertains to significant contracts for the development and modernization of the Nagpur airport, a crucial hub in central India. The court wants to ensure that all legal protocols were followed during the tendering.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation is expected to produce the relevant documentation, including file notes and decisions, which will be examined by the court. This move reflects the judiciary's commitment to maintaining transparency in public sector tenders, particularly in high-value infrastructure projects such as airports.

The ongoing legal review could impact the timeline of the Nagpur airport's development plans, as the court scrutinises the ministry's handling of the tender. The Supreme Court's involvement highlights the importance of ensuring a fair and competitive process, free from any undue influence or irregularities.

This decision is seen as a key step toward resolving concerns over the Nagpur airport project, ensuring that public interest is safeguarded in this major infrastructure initiative.
