IVRCL to bid for non-metro airports (Live mint.com 29th Jan 2008)Hyderabad-based IVRCL Infrastructure and Projects Ltd is looking to bid for airport development projects in small cities and towns, joining a growing list of firms wanting to tap the aviation boom in the country.
The company has already made a beginning with a bid to develop the Amritsar airport.
Confirming the news, E. Sudhir Reddy, chairman and managing director, IVRCL, said the company had “partnered with a Spanish airport development” firm for the purpose, but declined to name it.
“We have submitted bids for the development of Amritsar International Airport in Punjab,” said Reddy adding, “we have partnered with a Spanish airports development company to bid for the Amritsar airport project.”
IVRCL isn’t keen on being the developer for all such projects, Reddy said, adding, “we are not necessarily interested in owning airport assets. We are keen on bidding for the airport projects as building contracts. We will bid for those projects where the size of the contract is attractive. The contract sizes of passenger terminals at Chennai and Kolkata are above Rs1,000 crore.” The company is evaluating other non-metro projects. More
