A new dawn to Indian Airports
After a long struggle, at last the Government of India has approved
contracts to two different private entities to take care of the
modernisation of Delhi and Mumbai airports on a profit sharing
agreement. Though the Left parties and Labour Unions foul cry about
foreign companies taking over the Indian airports, I personally feel
that this is a very bold step but taken very late. With its emerging
economy and positioning itself as a global leader, India needs good
airport facility to promote both FDI and tourism. I wish atleast this
generation in India will get better airports like Changi International
Airport Singapore.
I also wish that the Government considers privatisation of Chennai and
Bangalore airports where there is lot more Automibile and IT
companies.
