CIDCO Invites Bids for Feasibility Study of Third Runway at Navi Mumbai International Airport.

The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has invited bids to appoint a consultant for a techno-commercial feasibility study for a proposed third runway at Navi Mumbai International Airport, an official of the state-run planning authority told PTI.

The proposal has been issued through an e-tendering process, inviting online requests for proposal (RFPs) from eligible single business entities, joint ventures, or consortia.

“The consultancy assignment is aimed at assessing the technical and commercial viability of developing a third runway at the airport, keeping in view future air traffic growth and operational requirements,” the official said. The project will be overseen by CIDCO’s Transport and Airport (T&C) department.

The consultancy period is set for six months, and the consultant will be selected through the Least Cost Selection (LCS) method, in line with standard procurement norms. The bidding schedule and detailed tender documents will be available on the CIDCO e-tendering portal starting December 16.

The feasibility study is expected to guide long-term capacity planning for Navi Mumbai International Airport, which is being developed to ease congestion at Mumbai’s existing airport and support growing passenger and cargo traffic in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
