New Delhi, May 8
The Ministry of Defence on Friday signed a contract for the Modernisation of Air Field Infrastructure (MAFI) of 37 airfields for the Indian Air Force (IAF), Indian Navy (IN) and Indian Coast Guard (ICG).
Tata Power SED (TPSED), which did the first phase of project to modernise 30 airfields, will do this project too.
It will cost Rs 1,200 crore and the proposal has been approved by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the Ministry of Defence said.
The MAFI Phase-II is a follow-on programme based on MAFI Phase-I that included upgrade of 30 airfields of the IAF. The airfields modernised under the MAFI Phase-I have been of immense benefit to both military and civil users.
The project is a turnkey project that includes installation and commissioning of modern airfield equipment like Cat-II Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Cat II Air Field Lightning System (AFLS) etc. The modern equipment around the airfield will also be directly connected to the Air Traffic Control (ATC). — TNS
