'YIAPL has selected Tata Projects to undertake engineering, procurement, and construction of Noida International Airport," according to a statement. "The company has been selected from three shortlisted with demonstrated experience in the design, procurement, and construction of large infrastructure projects."
The new airport is expected to be functional by 2024.
"We are pleased to partner with Tata Projects for EPC work at Noida International Airport," YIAPL CEO Christoph Schnellmann said. "With the award of this contract, our project enters the next phase, which will witness a rapid increase in the pace of construction activities on site."
The company -- together with Tata Projects -- is working to deliver a passenger terminal, runway, and other airport infrastructure with a capacity of 12 million passengers annually by 2024, he said.
"Tata Projects will work closely with YIAPL to deliver the airport on time," said Vinayak Pai, CEO and MD-Designate at Tata Projects. "We will deploy the latest technologies in its construction, while meeting highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability."
