Niti Aayog bats for international airport in Aurangabad
Maharashtra's Aurangabad region needs an international airport facility and an international convention centre, which will boost tourism and industries in the region. CEO at Niti Aayog, Amitabh Kant informed that the survey work at Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC), established under the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project, will change the entire region in the next five years. Earlier, it took 20 to 40 years to establish cities such as Gurgaon and Noida but the required infrastructure has been provided in the area before industries come to set up their manufacturing units and at least 73 units of them have been set up in the areas to date. The two nodes of AURIC, Shendra and Bidkin, will be connected by a highway and now there is an urgent need to expand the Aurangabad airport and convert it into an international facility. He assured the local administration to talk to the Airport Authority on this score. Apart from this, the region also needs an international convention centre and there are plans to establish a similar city at Dighi port on the lines of AURIC.
