Delhi Intl airport to have a fourth runway

New Delhi: GMR, which is leading a joint venture to modernise the Delhi airport, said it would construct a fourth runway here to cater to a projected 37 million passengers.
Initially, the GMR led consortium had planned to add a runway to the two already existing at the IGI Airport.
"We will add a fourth runway to the Delhi International airport after 2020 depending on the passenger traffic," Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) Managing Director Srinivas Bommidala said here, hours after the Supreme Court upheld the award of airport modernisation contracts to GMR and GVK Groups in Delhi and Mumbai.
Bommidala said the Delhi airport had already started contributing 30 per cent to the overall revenue of the Group.
DIAL started the modernisation project from May. The first phase of the project is expected to be ready by March 2010.
