Mott MacDonald to design Delhi airport

New Delhi: The GMR-Fraport consortium has appointed Mott MacDonald Group as the leading technical advisor for modernising Delhi airport at a cost of Rs 60 crore. Mott MacDonald has, in turn, appointed leading global architect HOK International, to design the airport.
According to civil aviation ministry sources, the consultant would be required to submit a master development plan to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) within six months.
