Chennai Airport To Get Rs. 2,500 Crore New Terminal: Official
CHENNAI: A new terminal with a parking bay for aircraft and a multi-level car parking facility would be set up at a cost of Rs. 2,500 crore under phase II of the Chennai airport modernisation programme, an Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said on Friday.
"We are going to develop a new terminal at a cost of Rs. 2,500 crore and it will be ready in 42-45 months. That is our anticipation", Airport Director, Airports Authority of India (Chennai), G Chandramouli, told reporters.
He said passenger traffic has witnessed a 20 per cent growth in the last three months and if this trend continued, the existing terminal would not be able to handle it.
The new terminal, coming up under the Phase II modernisation programme, would be able to handle the increase in arrivals and departures, he said.
Asked how funding for the modernisation programme would be done, AAI, Member (Finance) S Suresh said 60 per cent would be from borrowings and 40 per cent through internal resources.
"With regard to the borrowings, AAI will study the market before deciding whether to go for project loans or for an issue through domestic bonds," he said.
Mr Suresh pointed out that the union government had last week approved Rs. 9,430 crore to be taken as loan in the next five years, for modernisation of airports.
"For this fiscal, they have sanctioned Rs. 1,500 crore", he said.
To another query, Mr Chandramouli said, demolition of the existing domestic terminal has been completed to an extent.
