Maharashtra Airport Development Company Limited 3.95

In order to remove the regional disparity in the state, Govt. of Maharashtra has decided to develop a composite project called ‘Multi-Model International Passenger and Cargo Hub Airport at Nagpur’ (MIHAN). The project comprises of developing the existing domestic airport of Nagpur as an international passenger and cargo hub airport, along with a huge Special Economic Zone (SEZ), which is abutting to the boundary of the airport.

Maharashtra Airport Development Company Ltd. is Special Purpose Company constituted by the Govt. of Maharashtra for implementing this project and also to develop the various other airports, (not belonging to Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Indian Air Force (IAF)) in the state of Maharashtra to provide air connectivity between the various important District Head Quarters and the capital of the State.

Just abutting to the boundary of this airport, MADC is developing a huge SEZ on an area of more than 2,000 Hectares, which is supposed to house various export oriented units like I.T. industries, gems and jewellery, garments, electronic goods, pharmaceuticals, processed foods and any other type of industries. It is proposed to have a huge road terminal having facilities for parking of about 900 trucks at a time, huge warehouse, open stockyard, cold storage, etc. and by the side of this road terminal, there is a proposed rail terminal capable of handling 2 trains at a time.

Thus, MIHAN is a composite project of airport, road terminal, rail terminal, SEZ and various other allied services like housing, health city, international school and many more.
