KGS will appeal against Green Tribunal verdict.

KGS Aranmula International Airport Limited [KAIAL] will appeal in the Supreme Court against the verdict of the National Green Tribunal [NGT], said Gigi George, managing director. Addressing a press conference here today he said that 'the project is very much on' and the first phase of the airport would be operational in 2016 as per the earlier schedule.

Parallel to the legal process, the company had entrusted Engineers India Limited [EIL] and SGS India to prepare fresh Environment Impact Assessment [EIA] report, rectifying the lapses in the earlier report, prepared by Enviro Care. Gigi said that the company had adopted two prong strategy to address the issues developed after the Green Tribunal order. The company will approach the Supreme court and on the same time would adopt administrative processes. It will rectify the mistakes and lapses happened in the earlier EIA study and re-submit.
