## ANSWER

## Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL AVIATION

(Dr Mahesh Sharma)

(a)  :  As  per  information available, there are a total number of 476 airports in the country.  This includes operational and non-operational airports, airstrips etc. owned by the Airports Authority of India, Defence, State Governments, private parties etc.  State/UT-wise list of total airports is at Annexure-I. (b): The details are at Annexure-II. (c)&(d): Government of India (GoI) has granted 'in-principle' approval

for setting up of the following 14 Greenfield airports in the country with estimated project cost (approx.) as given under:

Mopa in Goa (Rs.3000 cr), Navi Mumbai (Rs.15149 cr), Sindhudurg (Rs.350 cr) and Shirdi (Rs.320.54 cr for Phase I) in Maharashtra, Bijapur (Rs. 150 cr), Gulbarga (Rs.13.78 cr in initial phase), Hassan (apprx. 793.95 cr in three phases) and Shimoga (Rs.38.91 cr in initial phase) in Karnataka, Kannur (Rs.1892 cr) in Kerala, Dabra (Rs.200 cr) in Gwalior, Pakyong (Rs. 605.59 cr) in Sikkim, Kushinagar(Rs.600.39 cr) in Uttar Pradesh,  cost  estimated  by  Airports  Authority  of  India,  as  the development of the airport through Public Private Partnership (PPP) could not be realized by the Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP), Karaikal (Rs. 280 cr) in Pudducherry and Durgapur (Rs. 700 cr) in West Bengal.  Out  of  these,  one  project  namely  Durgapur  Airport  has commenced  commercial  operations  on  18th  May,  2015.

(e):  Since 2012, GoI has received initial proposals for setting up of Greenfield airports at several places, namely, Karwar in Karnataka, Androth (Karavati dist.) in Union Territory of Lakshadweep, Taj International Airport, Hirangaon in Uttar Pradesh, Dagadarthi Mendal Nellore  Dist.,  Bhogapuram  in  Vizianagaram  District  near Visakhapatnam, Tadepalligudem in West Godavari District, Oravakallu in Kurnool District and Kuppam in Chittoor District in Andhra Pradesh. As per Greenfield Airports Policy, 2008, Ministry of Defence, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Airports Authority of India (AAI) was consulted for these proposals. The proposal of Government of Uttar Pradesh for setting up of Greenfield airport at Hirangaon was examined in  consultation  with  the  nodal  agencies  and  M/o  Defence  did  not recommended the project. Grant of Site clearance to these projects depends upon recommendations from M/o Defence, AAI, DGCA and the concerned State Government. (f): Necessary action for approval from various departments, project development, including financing of the airport project is taken by the respective airport promoter. The timeline for construction of airport projects depends upon many factors such as land acquisition, availability of  mandatory  clearances,  financial  closure,  etc.  by  the  individual operator.
