Chandigarh: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has given its in-principle consent to the project site of Greenfield Cargo airport at Bhaini Bhairon in Haryana's Rohtak district, after conducting a preliminary site visit and pre-feasibility study.
The Defence Ministry has also issued a "No Objection Certificate (NOC)" to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in this regard, an official spokesman said here today, adding that with this cargo facility, commercial activities would get a boost in the state.
He said the Railways Ministry is developing a dedicated freight corridor between Delhi and Mumbai, covering a length of 1,483 kms. To tap the opportunities to be generated by the freight corridor, a band of 150 km on its both sides is being developed as Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), covering the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The DMIC sub-region in Haryana covers about 29,362 square km area, which accounts for about 66.4 per cent of the total area of the state, he said, adding that DMIC consultants have submitted feasibility reports for the early bird projects of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) between Gurgaon-Manesar- Bawal, and the Integrated Multi-modal Logistics Hub (IMLH) at Bawal in Rewari district.
