AY: Engineering and construction company Larsen and Toubro has been awarded a Rs 5,550-crore contract to build the new integrated airport passenger terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Mumbai International Airport Ltd, which awarded the contract, said the order was for modernisation and expansion of the existing airside facilities such as construction of taxiways, aprons, aircraft maintenance, utility services and primary infrastructure support facilities. Landside facilities comprising a new multi-storey car park and access roads up to the terminal are also part of the contract. The new terminal, to be set up in four years, would be able to cater to both domestic and international operations. It would also double the passenger handling capacity to 40 million per annum. The entire airport modernisation programme would roll out in three phases – 2010, 2011 and 2012.
