PM to lay stone for NTPC-BHEL project on Sept 1

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will arrive at Tirupati on September 1 to lay the foundation stone for the NTPC-BHEL joint venture power plant manufacturing project at Mannavaram village near Srikalahasthi. The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the Tirupati international airport.

Two years ago, the Ministry of Civil Aviation had decided to upgrade the existing airport at Tirupati to an international one by constructing a new integrated terminal building encompassing all modular facilities and extending the existing runway by 984 metres.

The Airports Authority of India has agreed to bear the capital expenditure of Rs 300 crore, while the state government provides the required land of about 718 acre. The state government has handed over advance possession of land totalling 293.05 acres located in Renigunta.
