Currently, the government is holding bids for companies desiring to manage the construction of this airport. GMR Fraport DIAL, the company responsible for the reconstruction of Indira Gandhi International Airportis one of many bidders, and are sure they can successfully create this airport with the same excellent precision they demonstrate while constructing Indira Gandhi International.

Taj International Airport is one of many airports who are going to be second airport to relieve bustling air traffic in Indian overcrowded cities. Mumbai is also planning a second airport and Chennai's are also following the trend by jumping on to the bandwagon.
