A month back, in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Uttar Pradesh government had once again deferred the date for the signing of a key pact for the Rs 29,650-crore Jewar airport project with its developer.
The state government had in June extended till August 17 the date for the signing of the “concession agreement" with Zurich Airport AG amid travel restrictions due to the global outbreak of COVID-19. The Switzerland firm had emerged as the highest bidder to develop the Jewar airport on the outskirts of Delhi in Gautam Buddh Nagar district of UP, outbidding competitors like Adani Enterprises, DIAL and Anchorage Infrastructure Investments Holding in November 2019.
